Thanks Paul for the summary!
Well, you may have noticed that the tree has some problems. The WLAN
link is not working correctly. In the Raspi (AP) log files i can see
that it connects and disconnects each few seconds sometime. In the next
moment it is stable for e few minutes... I spent a lot of time to
exclude many possible reasons. It looks like there is a bad contact in
the 2.4 GHz yagi outside the building. Last night i run a test with a
local vorbis stream running over that AP when it was using a different
antenna. The antenna was inside the building for that test. The stream
is still running. It would not automatically try to reconnect, so there
was not a single interruption since last night, which seems to confirm
that the antenna is the problem.
Well, why do i tell that?
The antenna outside the building is just 1 m distant to the TX antenna.
The antenna is floating. The shield of the coax cable of the antenna is
coming inside the building, connecting to the WLAN stick, so it is the
same ground as the Raspi2 (AP).
It looks like some RF current is coming inside the building that way and
it looks like there is some coupling to the very low level of the E
field feedback probe that is used for the phase correction in SL.
Last night there was no RF current since the antenna outside the
building was not connected.
And now, there is a phase change of +15 deg on your side and and on
Wolfs side !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not unlikely that this is caused by the changed configuration.
Fortunately this is just a small phase change but it is not optimal!!!!!!!
So thanks for the feedback that shows this phase change!
