[Elecraft] spectrogram

[Don Wilhelm]

  Tom,

There is one benefit for me when using Spectrogram 16 - it has a larger 
display area, and therefore greater resolution and interpolation is 
available.  BUT, it has more setup parameters and a few more bells and 
whistles that are of no use to me.

Version 5.17 is entirely suitable for aligning the K1/K2 filters and 
does match your documentation for setup and operation.  Other versions 
have different setup data.

So my recommendation -- if you are a "newby" to using an FFT based audio 
spectrum analyzer, download version 5.17 from Tom's website and follow 
his documentation for setting it up.  If you are interested in further 
enhancements after you have become familiar with the operation, then 
download version 16 (the last freeware version) and do whatever you wish 
with it - it has a lot of capability.

73,
