[Skimmertalk] Decoding slow beacons on 10M ?

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

Ooops I meant to send this to group.  I see now that you're asking about
all beacons, not just the NCDXF Beacons.

To monitor beacon frequencies on 10m, you have to dedicate a 192 kHz
receiver slice to 10m CW  28182~28300 and update SkimSrv.ini or
SkimSrv2.ini to look like this:

CenterFreqs192=136750,475000,1885000,3585000,5417000,7085000,10185000,14085000,18153000,21085000,24975000,28085000,28255000,50085000,50255000
SegmentSel192=111010000010110
CwSegments=135700-137800,472000-479000,1800000-2000000,3500000-3600000,5330000-5407000,7000000-7125000,10100000-10130000,14000000-14150000,18068000-18115000,21000000-21200000,24890000-24935000,28000000-28300000,50000000-50200000
