All three copies are wrong. {^_^}

Fortunately - I am about to become persona non-grata over this nonsense from you. {+_+}

You do not get it. I can see that clearly, Actually the total power in a 100% modulated pure AM signal is about 3.5218251811136248416257801706124 dB greater than the carrier power

This is why I loved working on GPS, almost the quintessence of time keeping. It's the best answer most people can afford. {o.o}

Joanne, I probably misspoke at some point if/when I said BCFM carrier is always the greatest power anywhere in the passband, so I retract any such statement. However, that statement does hold true for

Joanne: I just love your rants. I love them because I'm usually learning quite a bit as I read them. You provide immeasurable benefit to us all. I know how much It must pain you to hear me say

I try to listen to the SAQ transmissions every year. For an antenna I hung about 15m of wire from a 2nd floor window to the roof of my shed. My radio was a KIWI shortwave receiver. The nice thing is

See my discussion. I got my wind up and had to work it out making you guys the victims. But it does explain where you are off the reservation and where others have gone off the

I thought perhaps he was referring to omnipotent signals. -Q

Found the lead from the charger arcing where it attaches to the fence. Put two stainless steel washers and a 1/4 stainless bolt and nut on it. Clamped the hell out of it. On my way to KSFO (San

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. {+_+}
