PCR-100/1000 BANDSCOPE
switch to SSB for when you want to listen rather than the alternative
that Icom’s software uses.
BANDSCOPE CONTROLS
The Slider Controls and Command buttons are as follows:
Samples – A number that corresponds to the resolution of Segments
sampled. The higher the number the more ‘band range’ the scope
sees, but the slower the updating.
ViewSize – This is related to the Samples, but also to the actual
amount of range you wish to view. The higher the number the
more range you will see, but the less the signal peaks are
resolved. At the smallest ViewSize number it is possible to see a
single wideband (FM broadcast for instance) frequency spread out
over the entire bandscope.
Auto SigLevel – As you are tuned to a large signal, the radio’s
normal AGC will tend to damp or lower the side band frequencies.
By enabling Auto-Size, you will be able to maximize the
displayed signal’s strength to full vertical screen size.
Start – If the bandscope does not continue to update due to a mouse
click on a non-bandscope feature or because you pressed resume
to scan, this will restart the bandscope and place the scanning in
pause.
StdColor – Enables you to change the spectrum’s foreground colors.
Multicolor – This will paint the spectrum for each segment (see
above) in a different color.
Close – Disable the Bandscope sweeping and close the bandscope
screen.
In addition, the Spectrum display is active to mouse clicks.
LEFT Mouse Click – Instantly changes the Upper VFO’s dial and
the radio’s frequency to the point on the bandscope spectrum just
clicked. (Also see below for ‘resolution’ control). HINT - You
can rapidly tune the radio up and down the band by clicking to the
far right or left of the bandscope display.
