Ok, but very much ham-oriented...

Maybe worth a look later on, though my initial look at the page didn't seem
to say much about the spectral analysis capabilities or maybe I didn't look
close enough, or something...

Seemed to indicate that it was for folks who couldn't afford a regular scope.
I have a couple of them, so I didn't give it a whole lot of attention. Only
problem I have is no bench in here to set it up. :-) The uncluttering
proceeds, anyhow...

...is seriously awesome! Not only is it something where a LOT of thought
seems to have gone into the design of the program and the features that are
included, but the web pages do one heck of a good job illustrating just what
the heck all that puppy can DO! I've downloaded it, and the manual pages,
and will see if I can manage to make it do some tricks. I think I'm going to
have to build some kind of a patch bay for my sound card inputs and outputs
and such, though... :-)

I've passed that URL around to several places, mailing lists and folks that I
thought might find it to be of interest.

BTW, has any of the stuff I've sent your way arrived yet?
