Hi All, Linrad-01.35 may crash when run under Debian Etch and ALSA. This happens if the soundcards are set up incorrectly so ALSA reads zero for every single sample. It is the zero noiselevel that causes the crashes. This is fixed in Linrad-01.36 so reading zero will just cause a zero spectrum.

Hi All, How does one know what the correct bfo frequency is when listening to SSB? With a waterfall graph it is pretty obvious what frequency to select to make the signal fit the baseband filter - but that does not give any hint on how far outside the filter one should place the BFO. For Linrad-
