Listen to the video again. Greg said that not all of the display controls and slice tuning features are active. Click tuning will be a feature of SmartSDR. -Tim --- Sent from my mobile phone On Dec 30, 2012, at 9:26 AM, Jerry Flanders jefland...@comcast.net wrote: At 11:37 PM 12/29/2012,

Greg, A keen observation. What you are observing is the different band specific preselectors automatically engaging and disengaging as the HD spectrum view (panadapter) and slice RX are manipulated within the sampled RF spectrum. In the video shown, there is only one frame rate (averaging)

I need to print a retraction. My previous explanation was technically incorrect. What is happening is that the more you zoom, the slower the frame rate because with each notch lower in decimation, the data output rate gets divided by two. To compensate for this, we change the averaging

Thank you Gerald for keeping us abreast of the current work on the Signature Series radio. And at the same time thanking Tim for his detail explanation on the working of the radio hook-up. But saving the best for last; the First Look (at least for me!) video demonstration was fantastic and all

Ditto Ernest's remarks. I did wonder what setting is different between the hi-res snapshot and the video with regard to the noise floor. In the pic the floor is almost smooth as described in the text but the video shows a much more active NF. Is this simply due to different averaging settings?
