Charles, Have you tried adjusting Upper Signal Limit and Signal Range on the status bar to brighten the waterfall? Also, try moving the upper green slider further up.
How are you driving the audio input of the soundcard? For example, if you drive it from the earphone output of a transceiver (either Line input or Mic input), you can just use the volume control on the transceiver and get any amount of visibility on the waterfall you want. 73, Skip KH6TY ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charles Brabham" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <digitalradio@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday, October 29, 2007 8:21 AM Subject: Re: [digitalradio] Encomm error loading CD > It all installed OK for me - after a lengthy pause during bootup that I > thought was a frozen up computer.
