[Skimmertalk] extremely high SN readouts

[David Robbins]

Is the skimmer receiving from the flex6700??  If so, what does it receive
when you tx??  If it is muted maybe the noise detector in the skimmer is
hearing dead quiet and it takes it some time to get a new real noise
sample??

I thought of Skimmer software overload but the skimmer software and PC is
here at the HOA and the Flex6700 and TX antenna is at my remote 8 muiles 
away.   I am using a Flex Maestro connected to the remote via VPN.
I usually only send RBN spots for 80 or 160 when I am on but I cant pinpoint
why the occasional extreme SN ratios reported.

I would guess that the tx overloads the skimmer software itself and drives
the calculated noise floor way down.

Running SSDR 1.9.13, CW Skimmer 1.9, Aggregator 4.1 and SDR Bridge 1.5.

I am running this with a Flex6700 and I am trying to figure out what is
causing the SN ratios on the reported skimmed cw spots to be reading so
high.  The skimmer/bridge combo seems all ok up to the point I transmit on
the 6700 and after that for a period of time the SN reports are over the
100db range!    One a minute ago was 146db on a EU station in the Stew Perry
on 160 that should have read around the 20-25db range as I was listening to
it.  Any ideas?
