Hi,
Guess this really dates me, but saw a reference to a
"panadapter mode"
What is a, "panadapter" please ?
I did a Google on it, but still unclear.
Thanks,
B.
The original Panadapter (in the 1950, I believe) was an add-on device
which performed the functions of a spectrum analyser, displaying the
band occupancy either side of the receiver centre frequency. The
frequency span was rather limited.
From a quick Google, it appears that the term has been adopted for
the spectrum display in modern receivers (especially digital).

Search as thus: sdr panadapter
