65: SOFTWARE, Site Kiesarge Mine Site, Mon 10-Apr-2006 22:55:52 GMT, KVH replaced, then disabled
I replaced the KVH with the one that Lou shipped to us.  After calibrating
it at the Independence Airport, it still doesn't work.  Then at this site
the ingestor went berzerk repeatedly reporting "unexpected data" from the
KVH, so I've just disabled kvh ingest in the configuration.  The profiler
antenna orientation can continue to be measured manually with the compass
and then entered into the radar parameter file navigation script.
