Hi All, The slider next to the level meter only seems to affects the wide graph's waterfall when "flatten" is off. To avoid others this confusion would it be better to scrap that slider and just use the sliders on the wide graph? Regards ... Tony VK2AJF On 7 March 2017 at 11:21, Black Michael

Hi Mike, How should the level slider in the MainWindow and the Waterfall Gain in the Wide Graph window be adjusted? Although they interact with each other, one of them seem redundant now. 73, Edson PY2SDR On Mon, Mar 6, 2017 at 9:21 PM, Black Michael wrote: > The slider adjusts the waterfalls

Hi Keith, The audio codec used int he FT-991 is a Burr Brown (Texas Instruments) PCM2903B. The PCM290x chips suffers from a spur at every one kHz when the input level is low. I have built a few home made audio interfaces with these chips and all of them suffer from this spur. The only way to mitig

The slider adjusts the waterfalls now like it always did.  The effect on the meter was confusing too many people when setting audio so that was disconnected.On the fast graph the slider controls both the spectrum and waterfall...and just the waterfall on the wide graph. de Mike W9MDB From

Hi Joe, It looks very good here. But this is only a subjective opinion from someone with ageing eyes. Suggestions from other developers should also be considered. I like the way the level meter behaves now. Disconnecting my antenna, the level drops down to about 7-8 dB. With the antenna connected

Hi Edson, Revision 7599 uses QColor(85,170,85) for "normal" and QColor(232,81,0) (a dark orange) aof "too low". I think the dark orange is an improvement. Not so sure about the gray-green, but perhaps others will like it ?? -- Joe On 3/6/2017 4:06 PM, Edson W. R. Pereira wrote: > Hi

Hi Joe, I've compiled the SVN head and am using it. The level meter color looks good, but it may be a little better if the green could be a little darker to have better contrast with the widget grey background. Can you try a QColor(85,170,85) and see if it looks ok for you? I agree with Keith's c
