Ant 13 was moved today and seems to have some strange problems. (See
Ken's email) The L305 was not happy after the move and had to be power
cycled before it would lock up to the 512 MHz reference. Once the
receive level was set and everything re-sync'd, the hardware appeared to
be functioning properly. Both deformatter statistics and the Baseband
overlay indicated good signal levels and connectivity. The EDFA for the
IF fiber was disabled at this time and the fiber was routed directly to
the de-mux.
Ant 16 has the L302-1 re-installed and working. It is the same module
with the same firmware, but has a different DDS board (with heatsinks)
installed.
Very busy day, still have not installed U/X converter in ant 18.
Ant 24 has a cold X-band receiver and two working IFs (A & C). It has
the lock removed and is ready for first fringes.
