+/**
+ * Pure-JVM coverage for {@link FlexMeterList#setMeters(byte[], FlexMeterInfos)} —
+ * the crash fix for a FlexRadio meter definition that carries a {@code .unit}
+ * but no {@code .nam}.
+ *
+ * <p>Meter value frames arrive on the FlexRadio meter-stream read thread, whose
+ * loop catches only {@code SocketException}/{@code IOException} (mirroring the
+ * {@link FlexMeterInfos} crash fixed earlier). {@code setMeters} already guards
+ * the unknown-meter case ({@code infos.get(val) == null}), but then
+ * unconditionally dereferenced {@code meter.name.contains("PWR")}.
+ * {@link FlexMeterInfos.FlexMeterInfo#nam} is {@code null} whenever the
+ * {@code .nam} token was absent or empty in the meter-definition frame (e.g. a
+ * partial/split {@code METER_LIST} frame that carried only {@code N.unit=...}),
+ * so a dBm/swr meter with no name threw an uncaught
+ * {@link NullPointerException} on the read thread and crashed the whole app.
+ *
+ * <p>{@link FlexMeterList} touches no Android types, so no Robolectric runner is
+ * needed.
