[Skimmertalk] Red Pitaya vs QS1R - comparison tests with CW Skimmer Server.

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

My first real comparisons.  Clifton active whip to Clifton 11 dB Norton 
preamp to 3.5 dB Minicircuits. Both are running the same version of 
SkimServ. The jumpers in the RP are set per K1TTT's recommendation to 
bypass the front end attenuators

The number of decoders is about 25 percent higher on the QS1R than on 
the RP.  The "spots in 30 min." FOM currently reads 87 for QS1R, 72 for 
RP.  Not bad, but I wonder why it isn't closer.  Typically, the reported 
SNR of spots from the RP is 1-4 dB lower than with the QS1R. On 40M most 
spots yield equal SNRs.
