I am still trying to figure out a way to get fractional HZ measurements from the Flex.
1. I have been told to use third party programs that will supply this information. 2. Unless I am missing something, third party programs rely on issuing a CAT command to read the frequency from the Flex and store it into a table. 3. CAT commands return the frequency to the nearest HZ. 4. If there were no Doppley shift, a frequency of 7.040001.4 would be read as 7.040001 with an error of .4HZ 5. I understand that if there is Doppler shift on a signal, that issuing CAT commands and saving the freuqncies in a table could give an average over a period of time; but, with little or no Doppler shift, fractional HZ measurements are not possible. Issuing CAT commands and always getting back 7.040001 will still result in a .4HZ error. 6. It seems to me that a useful feature, in order to get fractional HZ measurements, would be to count a frequency over a selectable period of time, such as 10 seconds, then divide by 10 to get a frequency to the nearest 1/10HZ. The Flex is such a valuable tool for looking a the frequency spectrum and making measurements. There must be a way to measure to fractional HZ. Yes, I am still trying to find a way to do better in the FMT! I have heard rumors that the top scorer, next time, will win a $1,000,000 prize! I am determined to find a way to win that prize!
