Re: [Elecraft] P2 Span Question

How I use the span is determined by what mental mode I'm in at the time. In a CW pileup, I might only want to see the 10 kHz or so above the DX station. So the span might be set to 20 (remember, there will be 10 on each side). Other times, I might want to just see what's going on with the CW

I find that I'm leaving the span at +-10 kHz on SSB and may narrow it on CW. I try to keep the ref lvl set so the noise is at the bottom of the spectrum display and then have the waterfall set to about 30% of the screen. Watching the P3 has become such a habit that I can't imagine not having it
