 ====== 2cm double beam secondary focus receiver (12000-18000 MHz) ======
-This receiver replaced the old 2cm secondary focus system. It is a two horn system for continuum, spectroscopy and VLBI observations. The system is currently tested and all values are preliminary. \\
+This receiver is a two horn system for continuum, spectroscopy and VLBI observations. \\
-**Note, that for technical reasons, no spectroscopic frequency-switch observations are possible!**
