[Linrad] Re: MAP65 for SDR-IQ

[Edward Cole <acsalaska.net; kl7uw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe,

Just a note that I copied you today on 2m JT-65B; sigs about -25, 
lots of Faraday and suspected high elevation absorption.  I am 
downloading MAP65-iq and beginning to set it up to work with 
Linrad(win) on my 2.33GB duo-core cpu.  Hoping to run both on the 
same computer.  I will be QRV with JT-65 on 2m at 1730utc looking for 
W7EME/WY.  Thanks for the new sw!!!

Ed
