[NLRS] FunCube

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

It shows a scan of the band within 50 or 100 kHz of the frequency the 
receiver is tuned to. Handy for finding wandering microwave band signals 
near the noise and for finding VHF activity that isn't on the calling 
frequency. Or finding a thin spot on HF in the QRM for calling the weak 
DX or simply calling CQ. A panadapter can let you know there's other 
activity on the VHF/UHF and microwave band while you are chatting or 
napping. And DK8OK's scheme allows copying digital signals of many kinds 
the link says. I've not tested it.
