SW2 Spectrum dynamic range


Dale Parfitt
 

As of now, I have been unable to find a way  to reduce the dB range setting on the spectrum scope. As-is, it is 0dBm to -140dBm. Something like -140dBm to -50dBm  daytime, or perhaps -120dBm to -50dBm night time on the low bands. Is this possible?

 

Tnx,

Dale W4OP

Grab the top or bottom edge of the slider bar to the left of the main or IF waterfall display and drag them down or up to the levels you want.  I usually run mine with only about a 20dB range to get maximal contract on ultra-weak moonbounce or microwave signals.

Thank you Clint and Neil.

My use is exactly the same Neil- I want to observe sun noise and weak  EME signals on 1296MHz.

 

Tnx,

Dale W4OP
