Mike,
I had misread your last post anyway. I Thought you were tuning in 500
hz steps (.50) and that is much too wide. However it looks like you
are tuning in 10 hz steps(.01) and that is perfect.
I haven't used the scope in years, back when I had a bit of usable
vision. It's been a long time, which is why I was a bit fuzzy on
actual usage of the scope. I'm alone here, and just tune via jaws
speaking out the text. I just figured if your XYL could watch the
scope a few times, you could get an idea of what you should listen for,
and just where in the width of the signal that you should expect good
speech. This brings us back to one of the first things discussed: the
narrower filters in FSK mode make tuning by sound much easier.
I do uncheck all that extra stuff in the menu. The control panel, macro
buttons, key hints, and scopes are all uneeded and just junk things up.
