[PX3] Waterfall

[Ingo Meyer, DK3RED-2]

Dear Elecrafters,


I intend to buy a PX3. But I still have a few technical questions.

The manual says  "[DISP] toggles between the spectrum, and combination spectrum/waterfall
display modes." Is it possible to increase the height of the waterfall to 100%, so the
spectrum height is zero?

If the waterfall is increased to 100% height (if possible), how long does it take for a
signal on the waterfall to reach the bottom from the top?

Hello Mike,


 > I too intend to buy the PX3. Did NOT see answer to your question.
 > I would be interested IF you got a direct reply with ANSWERS?

There was only one answer direct and no one via the mailing list.

 > Ingo, your can adjust the height to only about 1/2 the size of the window.
 > There is a menu selection for it called Waterfall Height.

This statement surprises me, because the manual says for the menue "Waterfall" the default
is "100" to change the height of the waterfall window when the display is in waterfall mode.

Does that mean 100% of the half display height?

And there was no answer to my second question:

 > If the waterfall is increased to 100% height (if possible), how long does it
 > take for a signal on the waterfall to reach the bottom from the top?

The waterfall height range adjustment is from 20-139, with 100 as the default.  With height set to 139, slightly more than 1/2 the display is waterfall — maybe 60%

At that height it takes about 10-11 seconds for a signal to move to the bottom of the display
