Hi All

Just about SpectrumLab. I have a question

Would like to know how to add those featured "palette versus dB" little charts found usually in
grabbers. At the moment I'm just using this configuration for Screen Capture
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7162072/Docs/Spectrumlab%20Screen%20Capture%20options.JPG
   
How to upload the screen captures to ftp server would be a nice help too. I have my grabber
running but stopped at this point. So no uploads to a web page, just Dropbox files updated

Hope this is useful and on topic for most of the hams here

Hi Edgar, Stefan and Wolf,

Your help is muchly appreciated.  Edgar seems to have no problem switching between qrss60/120.  I tried Stefan's settings but still no sigs on the screen.

The monitor scope is showing a nice little green line with some random noise for QRSS60 and 120.

It seems the signal is getting in but being lost by the computer/sound card for QRSS120.  Perhaps try another computer?
