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 ..

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 ?
