To be honest it's something you'll have to try - and at the end of Oct / early Nov you will be able to use it with some big SDR input files.
The foreground spectrum is a display of the last five seconds' signal, the background is a time-weighted display of the laast 250ms signal. This is very similar to the IC-7800 scope with the addition of a waterfall. Simon HB9DRV From: Stephen Cannon I was looking at the recent (Sept 8, 2009) screen shots of Simon's SDR-Radio.COM software in the Developer News forum there and was wondering if someone here could explain to me a little of what I am looking at - besides the obvious. Specifically, when I was looking at the Spectrum Scope I initially thought it was displaying a 2D FFT, however, the colors of the peaks change such that it seems more like a 3D FFT in almost a 2D format - and I don't understand the colors. If this is a standard display, would someone point me towards a file, website or book that will explain it to me?
