At my work we're using R&S EB500s for continuous spectrum monitoring at our sites of interest. These machines step through the frequencies 70 - 3000 MHz in about 3 minutes in chunks of 50 MHz (from memory), and then assemble the fragments into a contiguous waterfall display. Is anyone aware of a w

Hi Alex - The OFDM "#f" printouts means that the header didn't decode correctly, which in turn means its Rx-computed CRC8 didn't equal the embedded CRC8 from the header generation. This in turn generally means that OFDM sync has been lost, which in turn generally means that the Rx "SNR" isn't hi
