Scope Sensitivity

Postby JohnFT61 » Wed Aug 16, 2023 1:40 am

Is there anyway to increase the sensitivity of the Scope in Thetis? It only occupies a small area of the vertical dimension of the display....

Also, when you mouse over the vertical scale on the panadapter, the mouse icon changes to a hand. You can change the top and bottom numbers by left or right clicking and dragging up and down.

But wait, there's more...you can also mouse over the dividing line between the waterfall and the panadapter. The mouse pointer changes to an up/down arrow and you can left click and drag to adjust the split between the two displays.

You can also change the display mode to only show the panadapter by itself.

Sorry, I should have been a little more clearer. I meant the Oscilloscope display (Scope/Panascope...). I don't see a setting for the sensitivity (vertical scale). It occupies only a short distance that is available on the vertical scale.

Maybe a screenshot would help.

As you can see the height of the waveform isn't as big as it could be! The window is much larger. It would sure be nice if one could increase the sensitivity.

Scope sensitivity is a function of: (1) the Rx AF control; and (2) AGC Gain control.
