Don,

Audio "demodulated" (sent through the PC audio chain) could be recorded
using Audacity then "edit" (view) the waveform?


There used to be a freeware "scope" software put out by a few firms
a decade plus back, the issue now being would they work under
Win 10?


I use "Spectrum Lab" and its built-in scope for real-time viewing of
repetitive waveforms (and display on a 2nd channel a 60 or 120
Hz "reference" waveform for time ref) In Spectrum Lab it is
under: Components | Time domain scope.


Spectrum Lab does take a little getting used to though ...

I track down a lot of sources of RFI, and one tool I'm missing is SDR
software that can actually display the waveform of the noise I'm receiving
(amplitude vs time like an oscilloscope).  I use various SDR software but
they only display the spectrum plot and the waterfall plot.  I'm looking
for something that captures more of what you would capture on an
Oscilloscope(something that displays the received signal in which Amplitude
vs. Time is plotted over lets say a 20 mS time period).

I say 20 milli-second time period because this is the time period that
would capture a full cycle of 60 hertz power plus a little extra time, and
this is also the time period that the Radar Engineers model 243 captures so
I could hopefully better correlate my findings with what the local power
company sees using their model 243.

Appreciate someone pointing me toward SDR software that can accomplish this
task, especially if I can use it with an RTL-SDR receiver.  I believe I
have seen SDR software that can accomplish this, but don't recall what
software it was, and if it would work with an RTL-SDR receiver.
