Hi Gedas, Can you post a recording direct from SDRC, please? It would be nice to be able to dive into the waterfall and look at some of the weak signals close up, although it was easy enough to pick

But S-Meter is not SNR meter. Although the SNR meter should be approximated from the S-Meter reading. {^_-}

Please, Bob, distinguish what you mean with reference to time domain or spectral domain. It all makes SO MUCH more sense in time domain. Then terms like "quasi peak" make sense. It's meter rise

WTFF is "Continuum mode". You are losing your audience by inventing terms that make no sense. Do you mean time domain where everything flows along in a sampled stream? If so then time

I'm sorry guys - my autisim has kicked in and I have to get this off my chest before I explode. As originally conceived the S-Meter was an indication of channel power. Meter ballistics

Joanne, I didn't "go off the cliff" anywhere. 1) "So if you have a signal that features multiple peaks all about the same amplitude how big is the S-Meter error?" What "error" are you referring to??

The total power in a given bandwidth cannot be properly derived from a spectrum display. It can be derived easily from a filter followed by demodulator design. You take the I and Q values,

Probably they do match in terms of power per pixel. The number of pixels wide makes a difference in levels. {o.o}

I wish you had not mentioned that. I had to go looking. And unfortunately what has been seen cannot be unseen. AAAAAAIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE! My eyes my eyes they burn. {+_+}

Minimizing does not do what should be done. {o.o}

So if you have a signal that features multiple peaks all about the same amplitude how big is the S-Meter error? Take an NFM signal modulated by a sine wave. Run up the modulation from

I did not see this post before. What Ingolf describes is exactly what is needed, and I am sure would attract many new users. I am just building a microwave EME system(4.5m solid dish) and I would be

Simon continuum mode is very useful for sun noise measurements or sun>cold sky for the EME boys. However, it is comparative, it does not need to be calibrated. It merely plots received power over

No, you aren't the only one. As I see it the ribbon is a triumph of wasted screen space dedicated to cute rather than function. {o.o}

I am thinking of other things like the matrix display, various data displays, and so forth. {o.o}

Well I disagree, SNR improves as you reduce bandwidth, this is just physics. If the metering does not reflect this then the SNR metering is simply wrong. Just use your ears. Conrad

Tha’ what? Nowt up wit Yorkshire accent, it wor designed t keeyup sutheners guessin. Ok looks worse when you write it down. Regards Conrad PA5Y(orkshire)

There was a recent FW update for the FTDX-10 I understand. I have some TX composite noise measurements from Rob Sherwood and it looks very clean, no sure if it is public domain but I am sure if you

See SM6FHZ Ingolf's message a few minutes after mine; for quick reference here is the posting: <<https://sdr-radio.groups.io/g/main/message/23048>https://sdr-radio.groups.io/g/main/message/23048>. I

Hi. I made a request for this (Continuum mode) in 2014 together with a basic specification of possible functions. It can be found here: https://sdr-radio.groups.io/g/main/message/23048 I hope it can
