Abstract
The Korean Solar Radio Burst Locator (KSRBL) is a single dish radio spectrograph, which is designed to record the spectra of microwave (0.5 - 18 GHz) bursts with 1 MHz spectral resolution and 1 s time cadence, and locate their positions on the solar disk within 2 arcmin. It was installed at KASI in 2009 August, and operational thereafter. The antenna pointing coefficients were initially determined during the installation and refined later using a series of antenna pointing calibrations. The filter to prevent the radio frequency interference around 2 GHz was designed and is to be installed. After the installation, the full frequency coverage will be recovered from the temporarily restricted frequency coverage (5 - 14 GHz). Also an effort to solve a couple of minor problems for the full performance of the system is in progress.
