[Skimmertalk] Trying to optimize CPU while skimming - More FT8 questions

[Dave Pascoe]

Andy-

Those all look like normal numbers. What exact CPU do you have?

I doubt a different power profile will make any difference but you know
what they say about theory. Try it and see...but it may be challenging to
get real objective data.

I have not brought my RP 122.88-16 online yet so don't have any meaningful
data to offer in a similar setup.
