Hi Tobi,
I havent used this much, as I havent found an easy way to hook an sdr to my
FT1000 and MkV IF.
I have used it a little bit to check 10m openings, and plan to use it as well
on
2m contests. As 2m contests here in PY are not very popular, will be nice to
have a multi dimensional view of the band, so we wont miss much of sporadic
stations. The advantage of having a waterfall display in this case is that you
can see some seconds before "now".
Some other usage would be to find a clear spot on a band, or keep an eye in
another station.
If we had the spotted callsigns tagged on the waterfall display, we would have
such thing as a live bandmap. That could be nice.
With all these bells and whistles, we will have the single-op-distracted
category. hihi
73 & HNY,
Felipe
