Thanks very much for those tips, Dave. I'll give them a try. I've always 
run it in color.

I've used P3 and P3/SVGA screen dumps several times in stuff I've 
written, and they don't reproduce well on the printed page. For my most 
recent, I used Irfanview to turn them into greyscale, then negative, 
then played with brightness and contrast to optimize for the printed 
page. Prints MUCH better than the best I could do with color.

Good luck with solving your noise problem. Note the stuff about grow 
lights in the RFI app note from W0IVJ and W0QE.
