Panadapter grayed out/Waterfall all pink certain frequencies

[jaypea500]

Using PowerSDR 2.8.0.306. Had it setup already for my 3K, now using with a new-to-me 5Ka.

Noticing that the Panadapter display is greyed-out and the Waterfall is all pink between 13.570 and 14.350. Basically between 22 and 20 meters. I'm able to receive signals in those bands but not see them on the display.

Any ideas? Let me know if more info is needed...

Here's a screenshot of the proceeding issue:

If its just in the 22m band (and your receiving signals), then something in the database got corrupted or Setup->Display (Spectrum Grid and Waterfall) values were accidentally changed.

Also you can both Right click and Left click over the "Auto Wtr/Pan Lvl" text you see in the middle just below the purple. If the Setup->Display->auto wtr/pan box is checked, then the Right/Left click will automatically reset the signal to properly appear in the windows.

thanks, Darrin. I'll check the display settings; that's where I'm leaning right now as this has happened from initial startup, which to me, doesn't point at the database unless it got corrupted upon first shutdown. I did do the factory default reset, and the problem continued. the "Auto Wtr/Pan Lvl" clicks do nothing in this instance. I just want to make sure it's no an issue in the unit itself causing the problem...

Very strange that you can hear signals, but the pan is dead, just in a certain freq range??

Anyway, Sometimes the factory default does not work. You can go into the database folder %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\FlexRadio Systems\PowerSDR v2.8.0\
and remove all 5 database files to guarantee a default startup.
