                      Anyone on the list working with the Lime LMS8001a
                      Companion Board? Mine finally arrived and I'm
                      starting to work with it. So far 10 GHz TX/RX is
                      working (10.368 GHz). 10 MHz lock works well.<br>
                      <br>
                      Next is to try 5 GHz.<br>
                      <br>
                      At this point, no real measurements - just seeing
                      signals going in/out and learning the setup.<br>
                      <br>
                      After initial sectional tests, I want to set it up
                      as 5 GHz TX and 10 GHz receive.<br>
