From Einstein@home press-release:
The new pulsar survey uses a specialized radio camera, the Arecibo L-band Feed Array, and is conducted by the PALFA Consortium.

1) Is it possible to use data from this reciver for SETI ?
2) What about sensitivity and signal to noise ratio for this detector compared to SETI own ones ?
3) In what degree algorithms for this binary pulsar search and AP SETI search are overlapped ?

I thought that Astropulse was looking into the very same thing. It looks like someone is piggybacking Seti

I just received my first Arecibo Binary Pulsar Search unit in my Einstein@home directory. So I shall be crunching both Astropulse in my SETI directory and ABP1 in my Einstein directory. My Einstein wingman is a node of the ATLAS cluster at Albert Einstein Institute in Hannover, also running Linux.
