Highlights
Fixed a RoverLog lookup bug in the field. I need to issue a new release as soon as I have some more comments from other users.
Canadian/US border was pretty smooth. We heard N2OPW got turned away and was not allowed into Canada.
The police showed up in FN12. They were curious, but left quickly when they found out we were ok. They were on a call.
We discovered the source of the 2 GHz buzzing on TX and RX is the 600 W power inverter. This is also responsible for most of the 6m and 222 hash.
Ideas
Automate 2 GHz T/R switching.
Automate turning off 3 GHz PA in TX.
Build 12 V to 24 V converters for laptops to eliminate hash.
Change 10 GHz tranverter over from 110 V AC to 12 V DC.
Eliminate inverters.
