[Skimmertalk] Skimmer RX Calibration

[H Lawrence Serra]

Rick- 

I did, too.The instructions for calibration of hte SDR-IQ are in the SpectraVue software on-line manual.  Frequency of telnet spots is now reported by discerning contesters to be right on the money.

All,

I have been watching and analyzing spots from various skimmers on RBN.  I
have noticed that some skimmers are reporting spots as far off as 500 Hz.
That may not sound like much of an error, but it can be significant under
the right circumstances.  I recently recalibrated my six SDR-IQ receivers,
which took about 20 minutes total.  The results seem to have been worth the
effort.
