Want to see more on your Panadapter?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Doug and I have collaborated on a new release adding some new features:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>**Deep FFTs (FFT bin-widths as small as 0.184Hz) – Mercury, Hermes, and Angelia.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>**Wide Spectrum Display (displayable spectrum of over 1 Mhz). This width is for Hermes, RX1 only at the moment, and at the new 384K sample-rate. However, Angelia supports a wider display also … and stay tuned for more announcements!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>**Fast Update Rates (up to 60 frames per second at any selectable FFT-size and displayable spectrum width—assuming your CPU is up to the challenge!)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Why might you care?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>**Deep FFTs means smaller frequency “bins” which means less noise per bin; this lowers the noise floor and makes weak signals more visible. The smaller bins also mean better frequency resolution on viewed signals and better resolution for frequency calibration. Those large FFTs make great spur hunters too.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>**Wide Spectrum Display—You can see more of what’s going on around you in the frequency spectrum.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>**Fast Update Rates make the display more interactive and pleasant to view. They also allow you to better see transient signals that might be missed between less frequent updates.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>But, take care! We’re sure some government or its agency has determined that such bold FFT computing could be hazardous to your CPU’s health and might induce CPU heat stroke.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>As an added bonus, there’s a new NoiseBlanker –be sure to reset your NoiseBlanker parameters if you have a job for it.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We hope you enjoy the new release.
