(*) For the 1500 MHz SARDARA configuration, the actual available RF bandwidth is 1200 MHz with the C-band and K-band receivers. 
Similarly, for the 420 MHz SARDARA configuration, the effective RF bandwidth is 300 MHz with the K-band and C-band receivers. Instead, the L-band receiver only has 500 MHz of RF bandwidth; when the SARDARA 420 MHz configuration is needed, the actual available RF bandwidth for SARDARA is 100 MHz (when selecting the XXL3 or XXC3 filters) or 90 MHz (when selecting the XXL5 or XXC5 filters).

**L-band setup**

The full bandwidth for this receiver is 500 MHz (1.3-1.8 GHz). RF filters must be used (choose between XXL4, XXL2 etc.). For the 420 MHz configuration, the available filters are: XXL3, XXL5, XXC3 and XXC5 (to be selected following the needed sky frequency and polarization). We note that with these filters, the effective RF bandwidth is 100 MHz (using the XXL3 or XXC3 filters) or 90 MHz (using the XXL5 or XXC5 filters).

A 1000 MHz configuration is also available without line frequency tracking.
