[Lowfer] Lowfer SIW

[N8OOU]

Garry, I just looked at the Peoria Kiwi and by clicking on the "stat" 
button it shows the GPS is tracking 0 satellites, 0 fixes. That will 
indicate it does not have it's ADC clock frequency corrected. We cannot 
depend on it being on frequency.  It will drift around under the whim of 
it's temperature.  The GPS antenna is the other area that many Kiwi 
owners pay little attention to in the upkeep of the radio.

I have had some luck with the AB9MQ Kiwi in Normal in the past, but then 
started getting swamped with noise. I should try it again.

Thanks for the comparison.
