Thanks to all who replied.  I now know that the new "feature" is time 
domain only which doesn't help me.  I tried unplugging the RS-232 cable, 
and apparently the phase of the moon is not quite right because I really 
don't see much.  I tried running up the gain [SCALE] to no avail, 
brought the noise up too.

I think I'll have a QSO with a local with a P3 and he can do a screen 
capture and send it to me.

Thanks again,

73,
