Find-A-Freq

For us contesters:

Include a line on the spectrum that represents signal level averaged over a long time span, such as 1 minute (adjustable). Suggest boxcar average, not exponential decay. Invert the levels, so that a peak represents a LOW signal level, i.e. a clear frequency. Perhaps mark the highest two or three peaks with a cursor. The peak detection can take into account the active receive bandwidth.

When looking to find a spot to call CQ ('RUN') on, this would be a quick way to find a clear frequency.

    The waterfall already does this, and very well. If you set the waterfall speed such that the whole vertical period is about 30 seconds to a minute (or more), open frequencies are shown very clearly.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
