This is most interesting. I note that Toni agrees with Marco's
assumption that there is no benefit using longer dots - I presume
that the averaging control was altered to the optimum for each of
these measurements, to perhaps 15 for 3s dots and 50 for 10s.
My experience on-air is that static bursts are very much reduced
(or even eliminated) when setting the averaging control to a higher
value. It would seem reasonable, then, for 10s dots to work better
under noisy conditions than 3s.
I agree. The 3 sec time is optimal with white noise QRN or short
'cracks', but many time I would have preferred to have 6 or 10 seconds
when receiving with Lux or heavy statics.
My personal preference is to have no smoothing, and use 300 msec dwell
time. My eye-brain SW likes to do the smoothing by itself ... ;-)
