The Saturday night test has revealed a problem with ea25's bandpass
spectrum. It shows the 'multi-lobed' bandpass shapes characteristic of
a DTS problem. The problem exists throughout the entire run in LCP.
In RCP, it started mid-way through -- at approximately 2:50 IAT.
Besides the characteristic 'multi-lobe' spectra, the problem also
shows up as oscillating delays, with the changes between two apparently
stable states of a few tens of nanoseconds, switching states on
timescales of ~1 second (or less). Interestingly, the amplitudes remain
stable, with no obvious loss in sensitivity or amplitude.
