[Skimmertalk] RP10 14 and 16

[David Robbins]

I just switched my rtty skimmer computer over to the new rp.  So now I have one computer running 8 slices of cw skimmer server and the other computer running 6 slices of the rtty skimmer server off the new rp... I just haven't reset the rtty server to do 8 slices yet, not sure it could handle that many bands on rtty.

It's an interesting analysis, Dai.  If you wanted to  run Skimmers on 16 bands at a time, then the 8+8 configuration of the 16-bit RP SDR by Pavel Demin, plus the 16-bit resolution of its ADC, would make it a very good value.  It's a little academic, unfortunately, at the current state of the ionosphere.

I may have missed this in the recent discussion, because I'm not currently running CWSL, but I wonder if anyone has run two simultaneous instances of CW or RTTY Skimserv (or one of each) on the 2 outputs of the RP-16?
