[Elecraft] [K3] Phase Noise / CW Key Clicks

[David Gilbert]

True.  As I said in another post, I'd love to see someone write an SDR 
application that captured and quantified such things, but in the absence 
of that screenshots from a scrolling spectrum display (waterfall) would 
help.  The problem is that you lose the amplitude information when you 
use the waterfall that is necessary to establish the time correlation 
between center frequency and spurious crap.  With a normal spectrum 
analyzer that shows amplitude you can't see the correlation in a screenshot.

Maybe it's possible to display a 3D spectrum display!   ;)
