I have been irritated by this Gram crashing since I started using it 
and put it down to 'finger trouble' this end. I had not associated it 
with the number of FFT points selected. The crash seemed to 'damage' 
the software because the only fix was to reinstall it. I now run Gram 
from the floppy disk, which has fixed the problem in my case!

Has anyone tried Spectran by I2PHD and IK2CZL? It claims to have 
overcome some of the problems associated with certain sound cards. 
This program is still in the Beta stage so there are some 
limitations, although I find I can see signals sandwiched within the 
Loran sidebands better but I can't save the .wav files . It can be 
downloaded from:
