====== 2.8cm secondary focus receiver (10300-10600 MHz) ======

This is a 2-horn system for sensitive continuum measurement, polarimetry, VLBI, and pulsar observations.

==== Calibration Information ====


^ Frequency [GHz] ^ Channel ^ Polarisation ^ Tcal [K] ^ Tsys [K] ^ Sensitivity [K/Jy] ^ SEFD [Jy] ^ Aperture Eff. [%] ^ TMB/S [K/Jy] ^ Main Beam Eff. [%] ^ FWHM [arcsec] ^ Last update ^

|10.45 | B (BB) | RCP |6.3 |53 |1.35 |38 |50 |2.3 |59 |69 |Jan 2014|

^ normalized Gain curve (G = A0 + A1·Elv + A2·Elv2)^^^ Observed in ^ confirmed ^
|A0 = 0.9616|A1 = 1.820E-3|A2 = -2.153E-5|Aug 2023|  |

**Comments:**
   * If no other information about the opacity is available a typical zenith tau value of about 0.02 should do a good job.
