Novice Question 2765 ...
Showing my ignorance, and not owning an Orion II ... yet...
(I have an Omni VII)... could someone please explain
how one uses the waterfall in a real world situation?
I have seen them in screen shots, and think I know
what they show... but am not sure I know what to DO
in an operational sense after looking at a waterfall display.
Do you tune to the signal image (the way I tune to a peak
on my band sweep scope display?) Or is there something
else you do to USE the information displayed on the screen ?
I am sure this is a no-brainer for those with one, but I have
yet to use one, myself.
Happy Trails. THANKS !
