Thanks for all the input. I'm leaving the software there for anyone who
needs it.

Hi Jim,

I just ran the version of spectrogram from your site through virustotal.com which checks any submitted file with 43 different commercial anti-virus products. None of the 43 virus checkers reported any problem with the file.

Re: Legitimate software vs. antivirus (was: Spectrogram)

In reply to this post by K7TV

For Windows, there is yet another choice that is both good and free of
cost - Microsoft Securities Essentials.
It seems to work in the background and so far has produced no false
positives, nor has it let any viruses into my computers. It does want
to do a scan occasionally, and updates daily with no interruption to my
normal activities.

Jim,

Just downloaded the file and scanned it with AVG which said it is okay.

Re: spectrogram

In reply to this post by Tom Hammond-2

Tom,

There is one benefit for me when using Spectrogram 16 - it has a larger
display area, and therefore greater resolution and interpolation is
available. BUT, it has more setup parameters and a few more bells and
whistles that are of no use to me.

Version 5.17 is entirely suitable for aligning the K1/K2 filters and
does match your documentation for setup and operation. Other versions
have different setup data.

So my recommendation -- if you are a "newby" to using an FFT based audio
spectrum analyzer, download version 5.17 from Tom's website and follow
his documentation for setting it up. If you are interested in further
enhancements after you have become familiar with the operation, then
download version 16 (the last freeware version) and do whatever you wish
with it - it has a lot of capability.

Re: spectrogram

In reply to this post by Jim Brown-10

Before you do, I would suspect Norton. I work in IT and one of the things I have been dealing with is Norton reporting that very "virus" incorrectly on many, many executables. Upgrading Norton Anti Virus" to "Semenatec Endpoint Protection" on our servers fixed all this false reportings of the below "trojan".

Computer question - OT

In reply to this post by Don Wilhelm-4

My old Dell desktop is not cutting it anymore, and I'm going to replace it.
This will not be the shack computer - I will use it in an office for general
use as well as photo image processing duties. I see that Costco has very
attractive prices for the seemingly high level of performance in a line of
desktops by ZT Affinity computers. Does anyone here have any experience
with these machines? You can answer off line if you wish. Thank you.

73,

Phil, NS7P
