My question is: are work units raw digital signals or are they sent as a series of frequency spectra. Thank you.

They are a 2-second sample of "raw" data passed through a narrow-pass-band filter.

Just two seconds? I thought they were one hundred and seven seconds. Is there any documentation newer than the seti classic about page? Thank you.

The WUs are nicely explained somewhere...

IIRC: We have 107 seconds of time domain imaginary numbers (2-bits per data sample)...

I'm very happy to be corrected!
