Noise Floor


 

Hey 'yall,
I'm still working off a 2' wip in the basement, so not the best environment.? Lots of noise on 20M but still picking up 4's and 5's !!!? Anyhow, I may misunderstand what the book (3rd ed) is saying but when I adjust the noise floor, the spectrum goes UP and the waterfall colors get more out of wack (my opinion).? I mod'ed the code to allow the Noise Floor to go negative and it does what I was hoping/expecting/understanding.
Is there something here I don't understand?? Do I misunderstand what the book is saying? I'm running the latest 66.9, v12.? I'm still working my noise problems.
Thanks

Generally when my spectrum is all yellow & angry, I crank in some receive
attenuation.

What you've done is fine.? Some of us have coded an auto noise floor adjustment for the v11.? I suppose it will get to the v12 software at some point.


 

I changed the check for negative values some time ago...not sure why it was changed back. I prefer to have the noise floor sitting just a smidge above the horizontal axis. I'll look into this.

Thanks Jack.? I commented out the "floor=0;" line 430 in ButtonProc.cpp in case anyone wants to tinker.? Works great !? I like the results with the noise floor just above the horizontal axis.? Ver066-9 that I downloaded on 4/3.
