[TangerineSDR] Fwd: another 24hour RM3100 run and comparison with Fredericksburg

[David Witten]

@Phil,

Correlation is great, and surely some further calibration issues may
remain.  But these sensors are NOT colocated - (200-300+ mi apart?) .
Wouldn't it be suspicious if they did correlate perfectly?  If they did,
shouldn't  we ask if we do really need an extensive array of these
sensors?  Presumably there will always be some local variation at this
scale?  (don't know, just asking)
