P3 NB FW

[k6dgw]

I had kind of sworn off of beta releases after a fiasco with Firefox,
but this sounded good, and it was Alan's, so I installed it.

Really cool Alan!  Lots of electrified fences around here [two are
mine], it's spring and the weeds grow up under them at about 12"/day it
seems, and I have a lot of "fence hash."  The K3 NB took it out of my
headphones, now it's out of my P3 too. :-)

FWIW:  Very sensitive to the threshold setting when on strong signals.
Tonight on NCN [3533], NCS was Jim, K9JM ... about 10 miles from me and
very strong.  Threshold of 13 caused all sorts of artifacts to show up
as if he had spurs up and down the band, which he doesn't of course.  12
pretty much got rid of them.

At 11, which is what I think it came up with, the power hash was very
suppressed and I could actually see some of the "noise humps" from
specific noisemakers that were buried under the general uproar.

Nice work Alan!  You might consider a little bandspread on the threshold
control, it seems to have a very big effect.  And, I've done this before
but thanks again for the monochrome waterfall option, you can't know
what this did for me! :-)

Me, too, Fred. But this is sounding too good to
wait on.

Works great here.

Anything above 11 seems to add artifacts (hash) to the waterfall.  Probably
just a side-effect of the high NB setting.
