Bonjour Dom,

Yes that could be interesting. But..... till now the waterfalls on my
windows dsp programmes are much much faster than on linrad with 5000, 8000
or 16000 hz sampling. Higher rates are not possible with my linrad. But in
Windows I easily can run 48 kHz sampling.
I currently of course only can view the 3 kHz audio as I have not made any
convertor to audio from RF.
But in practice ( contests) the frequency uncertainty even on 10 GHz has not
made too much of a problem. I can almost always find the other station as
the beamheading is known ( we normally start on 23 cms if there is no
rainscatter and the beam then is almost ok) by slowly tuning. If the signal
is copyable I always can find it so I did not feel the need for a waterfall.
