Do you actually have a high broadband noise level, or is your display simply not set properly? Set your waterfall to low level -130 high level -80 and see how 40 meters looks. Mine is medium blue. I can darken it by setting the low level to -120.

To set the waterfall color, click SETUP   DISPLAY   LOW LEVEL, etc.

Unfortunately, optimizing one band changes it for the other bands.

While this is not strictly Flex Radio, it occurs to me that there may be someone on this reflector who knows something about using the amazing capabilities of the graphic display to track down local noise problems. I have a 5000a with a 2nd receiver. My location is plagued with noise. While I have been able to track down the noisy power line insulators successfully and have the power company graciously fix them (with an accompanying reduction in noise), I am stumped by the other (probably multiple) noise sources at my QTH. Is there a way to use the graphic display capabilites of my 5000a and Power SDR to get a clue as to the source of the noise? My Power SDR version is 2.3. On most bands, my waterfall display background is yellow to green and not the blue to black of images I have seen on the web of other ops with their Flexes.
Thanks
