[wsjt-devel] WSJT-X measure mode?

2020-09-28 Thread James Morris
I'm currently using SpectraVue to measure Sun and Moon noise. I'd prefer to use open source and Linux. WSJT used to have a measure mode, but this seems to be missing from WSJT-X. I'm wondering if there's a specific reason for this and if there are plans to implement the feature? - James W7TX
