  I report on two papers, hep-ph/9806279 and hep-ph/9807336, where
complementary strategies are proposed for the determination of the
chargino/neutralino sector parameters, $M_1, M_2, \mu $ and $\tan \beta$, from
the knowledge of some physical observables. This determination and the
occurrence of possible ambiguities are studied as far as possible analytically
within the context of the unconstrained MSSM, assuming however no CP-violation.
