[time-nuts] KS problem

Hi Bob,
I tried looking at the log in the Z38XX program (in wine), and I just get a blank.  So, I brought up Satstat in a Virtualbox and there's nothing of any consequence.  There are the entries today when I started moving antenna ports around, and then nothing back till 12/5 when I was trying the attic antenna as a test.

Hi

Have you dumped the log file from the KS and seen what it says about the tracking?
