[TenTec] Waterfall Display

[Charles Strickland]

Waterfall displays allow you to pick out signals that are very difficult to distinguish with a typical single color display, and also since you can display a select continuous time period, see a pattern.  Selecting colors and contrast settings allow fine tuning of this procedure.

The Ten-Tec Jupiter, Omni VII and Orions have a rear panel line audio out and they supply an accessory cable for this use.

Several freeware applications are available for frequency domain and/or time domain display on a pc.  So if you can be content with just displaying the audio range of demodulated signals, try some of these apps.  I have a pc displaying one or more of these anytime I have a transceiver in use.
