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 !

In 2.041XT, the waterfall was not instead of the sweep display, it was a
menu-driven option.  If you would rather have the sweep display, you could
choose that.  What I liked about the waterfall was that it followed CW
signals almost instantaneously, much faster than the sweep in 2.044A.  I  admit,
though, that it wasn't so great on SSB.

Hi John,

I hear you about  the 566.  V2.044A is  very good, but please  don't forget
about the waterfall display.   I'm not at all convinced I would  want a high
speed sweep board, but I  did like the old waterfall.
