Abstract : A new spectropolarimeter for dedicated ground based observations of the radio emission from the solar corona at low frequencies ($<$ 100 MHz) has been recently commissioned at the Gauribidanur radio observatory near Bangalore. We report the observational setup, the calibration scheme, initial results on the observations of circularly polarized radio emission associated with weak solar transients and the related coronal magnetic field strength ($B$).
