Right .. thanks Andy ... that makes sense
... looking at rms power in a bandwidth and not the spot noise power
at one frequency (+/- spec bw) ?
why the 100 hz , as the wspr
window is 200 hz wide , is the software looking +/- 50 from
the decode frequency ?
To make use of the level in terms of
the path suitability for say a data transmission ... is there a
quick way of working backwards , if you
know the minimum s/n that the mode will
handle, using the reported wspr result ?
Tnx- G ..

Subject: Re: LF: s/n shown by wspr .... what is it actually showing
?
Its normalised to 2500Hz banbdwidth - approximately an SSB filter's
worth.
So +20dB in 100Hz = -3dB in 2500Hz.

Just watched Dave's G3YXM wspr signal
on spec-lab ,
Spec-lab showed the signal to be a
constant 20 dB over the back ground noise floor of the rx
so in my book that's 20 dB
s/n
The wspr decode is showing -3
dB s/n ?
What is it actually displaying
?
