-This is an ultra broad band (UBB) 2-channel system covering a range from 1300 to 6000 MHz.  
-Obviously, there is still a lot of RFI present. ​ 
  
-**Currently,​ the system is in commissioning. If you are interested to use it, please contact the staff.**

 **Comments:​** **Comments:​**
 +  * The system delivers two basebands, 1.3-2.6 GHz and 3.0-6.0 GHz. Currently, it is only possible to record both bands in parallel for pulsar observations (timing and search mode), but not yet for continuum or spectroscopic observations.
 +  * Usable / useful continuum bands are e.g. 1.405-1.415 GHz, 1.66-1.67 GHz, 4.7-5.0 GHz, 5.3-5.6 GHz.
