I'm looking at the N6NB beacon which is coming in pretty well
tonight. I have Te set to 600K, the noise floor in the main spectral
display is about 10, and the beacon, on peaks, is about 20 which it
says is -140 dBm. Sampling is 9.4 Hz. so this all more or less adds
up given Boltzman's Constant, -198.6 dB-Hz / K.
In the LTI Alt/A box, it says about 1000 points, 15.0 dB. Same Te.
Cntr Sig = -155.9 which is 6.4 dB (S+N)/N. This agrees with the
yellow line.
How is the Cntr Sig value calculated and what does it mean?
