> I mixed the files

Context: I sent Ivan my FPGA and FW compilation. My FW didn't work, so I
recommended "mixing" the images - taking my FPGA and stock FW.

the carriers as they were and remained


Do I see correctly that previously you had spikes at DC (-60..-58 dBm)
_and_ at some other frequencies (-50..-42 dBm) and now you have only DC
spikes (~-40 dBm)? Sorry, it's not very easy to me to read it from the
plots.

Was this change a result "sewing" or the FPGA image change? It would be
helpful to see the effect of each of these actions separately.
