Can you explain "averages to zero"? I would think that random noise would average to something non-zero and then be comparitively reduced by the averaging interval, and thus more like the normal noise level over sqrt(N). Perhaps this is then reliably below the threshold for any color to appear, which would make it effectively zero.
Perhaps I chose my words poorly. What happens when you set averaging and levels to optimum is that any random noise averages itself out (BECAUSE it's statistically random), so you're left with whatever weak signals and non-random noise is on the band.
