[Flexradio] Various things...

[Dudley Hurry]

Brett,

You have to be kidding..   Right?  I can view a AM signal, even tell the 
audio response on each sideband,  exactly if I move the cursor over the 
signal and read the frequency response in the lower left of the panadapter.
You can monitor your AM signal in the Flex 5000 with the RX2 option,  
view it in the lower panadapter. 

I will tell you that the panadapter does take a lot of CPU to display,  
so if you are having to slow the display refresh down, this will cause 
the display to be less reactive. 


73,
Dudley
