Question on Mouse Click or Feature request

Post by dl9ndw »

HI ,

i got a Flex3000 from a a ham where it stood on shelf many years. It works perfect and i use it quite much . All works close to perfect with latest version of powersdr . I just have on nagging problem :

I also use a Flex6400 at the clubstation and there DOUBLE Clicking is used for setting frequency from waterfall and spectrum. Powersdr only needs a single click. Is there an option anwhere to require doubleclick , so it works the same as the current smartsdr ? If no , could this be implemented as an option ?

The second thing , surely more complex is that it would be better to move the frequency indicator on spectrum and waterfall, as long as the new frequency is in the current range on screen ( same as smartsdr or most other sdr´s ) . It is confusing when there are a bunch of signals in range where you want to listen to in random order ( to find the right spot to jump in ) and tehy move across the screen.

Otherwise i am very pleased with powersdr and must say it´s way way better that ssdr.

Not sure if I understand your 2nd issue?
But if you click on the PAN button (turns Red) the screen stays and the bandpass moves around.
When you turn it off (by clicking PAN again), make sure to hit the "Center" button to reset the bandpass back to center.

But, it is very easy to keep track of signals the standard PowerSDR way if you run in Panafall mode (I prefer Panafall8020),
since the waterfall moves as you move the VFO, and the waterfall provide a few seconds of history as you move around.

I will think about the first issue.
