[Linrad] Re: Additional information and tests

[Joe Taylor <Princeton.EDU; joe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gabriel and all,

Thanks for keeping us up-to-date on your tests.

Do keep in mind that my own on-the-air experience with the 
SDR-IQ/Linrad/MAP65-IQ combination is very limited -- a few 
sessions of a few hours each.  Most of the time, I use my 
tried-and-true MAP65 system and both feedlines from my xpol 
antenna.

The default setups for Linrad and MAP65-IQ in the MAP65-IQ 
distribution are simply what I have found to work well for 
me...  They are not necessarily optimum for everyone's setup.

I will be traveling again from Wednesday through Friday, 
this week.  If I have time before leaving, I will post 
another MAP65-IQ distribution with a few more bug 
corrections, somewhat better Linrad parameters, and initial 
setups for three different single-channel receivers: SDR-IQ, 
SDR-14, and Perseus.

	-- 73, Joe, K1JT
