    Hardware Status as of 13. July 2011

    Electronics:

    LBH connector on RCU 185 broken.

    All RCU modules plugged in.

    High Band Antennas:

    All tiles are working. (Keep using broken RCU 185, to have all HBAs working.)

    Low Band Antennas:

    One dipole may be oscillating.

    The LBH connector of RCU 185 is broken, see report from: 07 July .

    Some (even-numbered) dipoles show little to no power in the spectrum (like as if the LNA is not working). The problem is not always consistent: some seem to recover without active intervention, some seem to recover after pulling and re-connecting the RCU.
