Thanks Peter, as you know, always some luck in getting enough steady moments to attain a high s/n that handles the processing

Terrific picture btw.
Thanks, if you have a read of people's experiences on the net you'll find good and bad copies of Quarks. Some with exceptional band pass and others not so special. You do need to raise flags with the manufacturer if you think it is outside specs.

Thanks John, I might have got the maths wrong on the scale, it's bigger again
