[Skimmertalk] Calibration of QS1R for latest SkimServer software

[Pete Smith]

So was mine, but I think I understand why.  With the correction I 
derived from the QS1R clock setting when using SDRMAXII and tuning to 
WWV, I was setting my radio to (or near) zero offset.  Not surprisingly, 
that dropped the signals down below the filter passband.  I just reset 
things the old-fashioned way, by letting Skimmer Server spot stations 
and then clicking on them in N1MM Logger.  Spots are now coming right 
into the filter passband at the default frequency correction, so I'm 
gonna leave it that way.
