How to Create a New Panadapter

How do I go about opening up another receiver slice so that it is horizontal? When I select +RX I get vertical slices.

    Don, I think maybe you are asking about panadapters that have the spectrum visible. To open one up, click the icon in the lower right of the display that looks like this: Steve

    is there a difference between a slice and a new panadaptor?

    Down on the lower left side of your screen there is a "+". Click on the "+" to open up a new slice. When you click on the the +RX button, it puts a new slice on the open panadaptor, so you can end up with at least 4 slices on the same panadapter. This is very confusing and in most cases should be avoided. I don't think that putting multiple slices on a single panadapter screen provides a needed function. It should be avoided. In a nutshell, only click once on the +RX. Click on the "+" on the bottom left to get another slice.

    "I don't think that putting multiple slices on a single panadapter screen provides a needed function." Works well for me when working split. I don't see the need to have a separate panadapter for each slice, just takes up extra screen real estate.

    Don, One could htink of a panadapter (spectrum dispaly) as a receiver that just puts out a spectrum display onto which other receivers, the "Slices", are overlaid for visualisation. Its the slides that demodulate the signals that you end up hearing. Opening a second panadapter with its own RX slice allows you to monitor a different part of the band or spectrum.

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.
