Hi Roger,

You can speed up the first line in the spectrogram after restart (but it's cheating).
By default the program waits until enough samples have been collected to calculate a 'complete' FFT. At uHz resolution, this naturally takes ages (well, theoretically 1 / freq-resolution).
Here's how to cheat: Select 'options', 'FFT settings', and set the checkmark for 'zero-pad if not enough samples available'.
Pro: You can see a bit faster if all works as it should.
Con: Spectrogram will look very blurred initially (as long as the input to the FFT is padded).
Details and an explanation is here:

Hope this helps,
  73,  Wolf .

Once my PC got itself updated and SL running again I was monitoring for DJ8WX in 424uHz BW overnight. There was a weak trace visible, possibly with a gap in the middle of the night (or was this QSB?), but nowhere near as strong as the last time Uwe tested. At best the signal was maybe 4-6dB over noise. The trace attached (LF reflector only) covers the period between about 2300-0730z.

I will continue to monitor until around 1200z but have to close the PC for a couple of days as we will be away.
