GRW/MWR/M1 - Incorrect instrument computer set-up
DataStreams:grwmwrlosM1.b1, grwmwrtipM1.a1
Description:
Starting late on 07/11 the instrument began to have very brief (< 1 min) data outages 
every few hours.  By 07/12 data had become noticeably incorrect, particularly the PWV, LWP, 
TB23, and TB31.  At ~17 Z on 0713 the missing data / no data available flags became more 
frequent.

The problem was identified as improper settings of the instrument computer and was solved 
on 8/9.

GRW/MWR/M1 - Erratic brightness temperature
DataStreams:grwmwrlosM1.b1, grwmwrtipM1.a1
Description:
Around 12 Z on 7/20 both the PWV and 23.8 GHz brightness temp values began to diverge from 
those of the MWRP. By 7/22 both the LWP and 31.4 GHz brightness temp had followed suit. 
At 0600 Z on 7/22 multiple (10-20), brief (<=1 min) data outages began appearing hourly.  
The problem persisted intermittently until 8/9.

On 8/9, changes in the settings of the computer restored the proper functionality of the 
MWR software.
