Re: LF: Beacon on 477.7 kHz

[jcraig@mun.ca]

Hi Wolf,

Thanks for your efforts.  The beacon is still running but reception
reports are getting fewer as the QRN increases.

I've been playing with Spectrum Lab and am much more impressed with it
than my abilities... Using the SAQ receiver user preset to listen below
10 kHz has produced strange results. It seems I am confused with the 
filter/injection frequency combination and the red, blue and magenta
diamonds below the RF and audio windows. This is a silly question 
but could you tell me how to listen on 8.2 kHz?
