Mike - I'm curious about just what you think isn't right about the spectrum display frequency. I have 3.029 installed on my O2 and the display looks just as it should - LSB signals to the left of center, USB to the right, CW just about centered. I guess I'm amazed that anyone would even use the O2 spectrum display, let alone try and make any frequency determinations from it. While I love my O2, I must say that the spectrum display is on the other side of dreadful. I might glance at it to see if there are any signals on the band at all, but even then I wouldn't make a decision based on what I saw. Looking at the same apparently dead band using the IF output and an SDR-IQ usually reveals many weak signals. I'd like to see Tentec not spend another millisecond on anything to do with this spectrum display implementation. The resolution just isn't there and the delay between hearing and seeing a signal on the display makes it just about useless.

Hi,

I was wondering if I am the only one who thinks there is at least one 
unresolved issue in this latest version of firmware.  I'm not talking about 
things that you'd like to see, but things that just aren't quite right yet.

For me, the fact that the spectrum display peak does not line up with the 
actual frequency on LSB and CW modes is rather annoying.  I was hoping that if 
this is the only unresolved issue for V3.029, a quick update can be made and 
Ten Tec can begin to work on new features.
