[Linrad] Re: MAP65 for SDR-IQ

[Joe Taylor <Princeton.EDU; joe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ed,

Many thanks for your reply to my post about MAP65-IQ!  I 
expect that within about one more week I will be ready to 
package the program with some basic instructions so that 
others may test it and provide feedback.  I'll let you know 
when it is ready!
