Re: [amsat-bb] more tests

Thanks for the info.

last night I also tried to copy the DO-17 beacon with no success. I'm now
more convinced that my problem could be a LO frequency error. I also
heard some signals around 147.500 - 148.500 whose real frequency is not
known to me if I don't first make sure about the real LO freq.
