>>>>For the SPECPOL attenuation<<<<
in case the obsinp script should fail ever, we can adjust the levels manually in the specpol machine, with
/home/spobs/r2attn 1 0.5
/home/spobs/r2attn 2 0.5
/home/spobs/r2attn 3 0.5
/home/spobs/r2attn 4 0.5
The first argument is the channel, and the second is attenuation setting in dB. [cite from Ramesh email below]

From Alex Kraus on the reason of low power at 7 GHz:
One heads-up: I experienced some problem during test observations last
Friday. At some point, "one of the LOs got out of the lock", which resulted in
less power, therefore more noise and higher Tsys in the upper broad-band. 
That could be solved by re-setting the receiver. During the last tests, that
did not happen again, but it would be good to check power regularly. I will
also mention that to the operators.
