Thanks for catching it!  Please mention rs_antenna in addition to
rs_more.

rs_more should be boolean.  It would be better to use "!!" to calculate
rs_rate.  No need to shift anything.  As for rs_antenna, it's fine with
me.

This doesn't belong to the patch.  It looks like it's another boolean
value, but it's not currently used.
