John...

My Google is not so unfriendly...googling "Specctrogram download"
produces several pages of free downloads. I am using Spectrogram 16.

There is another similar freebie program called "SpectraVue" which is
also available by googling its name.

Both these are .exe programs that do not "install" in the WIN sense. I
am using both with WIN 7 Ultimate, but have previously used them in
VISTA and in XP Pro.

Get back to me OFF the reflector if you can't find copies.

It was not a company, it was shareware, written by an individual, and he
"retired" from developing and supporting it several years ago. With his
permission, I put the final version on my website as a free download.

Another alternative for folks running Mac OS X or Linux is Baudline, available at

http://baudline.com

It is free of charge, though not open source. Do note that it has a somewhat unusual user interface (at least when compared to the typical Windows or Mac application), so some time spent reading the manual may be necessary. It's an incredibly powerful signal analysis program.

Re: spectrogram

In reply to this post by John Cooper

John:

There are several(!) versions of Spectrogram available.

IF you are planning on using Spectrogram to align your K2 or K1, then
I'd suggest getting Spectrogram v5.1.7 from my web site... it's
located immediately adjacent to the printed documentation for
aligning your radio (K2 or K1), depending upon which rig-specific
page you've gone to.

You CAN use newer versions of Spectrogram with my alignment docs, but
there's absolutely NO benefit in doing so and newer versions offer
features you will not need nor wish to use.

Visit:

For the K2 - http://www.n0ss.net/index_k2.html

Spectrogram and docs are located about 3/4 of the way down the page

For the K1 - http://www.n0ss.net/index_k1.html

Spectrogram and docs are located about 2/3 of the way down the page

The ONLY additional device you'll need is an audio jumper cable from
the radio;s
speaker output to the input of the sound card on your PC. Suggest
using stereo
connectors, but with TIP and SLEEVE (no RING) connected.

DO NOT OVERDRIVE THE AUDIO INPUT TO THE SOUND CARD.. this will cause audio
artifacts in the display which are not helpful during the alignment process.

If you have ANY PROBLEMS OR QUESTIONS, drop me an e-mail.

Tom Hammond N0SS

Re: spectrogram

In reply to this post by Jim Brown-10

Jim,
FYI, when I downloaded the 'spectrogram.exe' file from your site I got a
message from my Norton Security software that it contained "TROJAN.ADH". I
checked its definition and came up with:

"Trojan.ADH or Heuristic.ADH is a very harmful Trojan that will infect
executable files on the compromised computer. Trojan.ADH and Heuristic.ADH are
generic detection for a malicious files or computer virus with the same
functionalities and payload once executed on the system."

Not sure if it's a bogus message or is really a threat.

Re: spectrogram

I know from my friends who are still in the business that Norton is
not held in high regard. If Kaspersky, AVG and some of the others
find no problem it would cast doubt on the Norton result.

Re: spectrogram

this is the same problem that VOAPROP discusses here:
http://www.g4ilo.com/voaprop.html
down the page where it says DOWNLOAD

"Trojan warning! Some third rate virus scanners claim the installer used by my
programs is a virus or a trojan. It is not a trojan it is a false alarm. If you
choose to believe your scanner rather than me that is up to you. But please
don't tell me about it, because I already know. See this blog post for more
information."

Re: spectrogram and Norton...

There's a reason why Norton comes free with many computers (guess why?).
The program is, IMHO, junk...and it is the first thing that comes off
of any commercial box I or my wife buy. There are at least two problems
with it...(1) it steals 'way too many clock cycles, and (2) it has a
tendency to give specious warnings. The warning about Spectrogram is one
of this type. I think David Gilbert is spot on...Norton is a form of
malware.

Legitimate software vs. antivirus (was: Spectrogram)

In reply to this post by John Cooper

I recently changed from Norton to AVG on two computers.

The laptop with 1.4 GHz Pentium M and running XP had N1MM installed on it in
the spring of 09; no update since.

AVG said that N1MM was malware; I let it move the file (I think it was the
main executable) to some quarantine location.

It occurred to me that AVG might be overzealous, and from the comments about
Spectrogram I am reminded about it.

Another observation is that that computer has become very prone to slowness
for several minutes after startup.

The workaround seems to be to leave it on. I guess AVG updates itself more
than Norton.

I also had to configure it not to do scans all the time.

Another computer, a new and fast one running Win 7, recently came up with a
message from AVG saying that the registry was messed up. I was offered to
get it fixed one time free, and to pay for it in the future. I declined,
deciding to use other methods to clean up the registry. I am used to getting
registry cleanup offers from highly suspect sources, and I always decline.
Now it seems like the nice price of AVG is only bait so they can hook you.
Hmmm. maybe even Norton included free registry fixes; I don't remember.
