MULTIPLE CONFIGURATIONS.  THE SPECTRUM DISPLAY CAN PROVIDE A SINGLE VIEW OF
THE RECEIVED SPECTRUM, AS IN FIGURE 1.  YOU CAN CHANGE FREQUENCY BY
TOUCHING THE SPECTRUM DISPLAY SCREEN, ALTHOUGH YOU CAN HAVE MORE PRECISE
CONTROL BY PLUGGING A USB MOUSE INTO ONE OF THE FRONT PANEL USB SOCKETS AND
CLICKING ON A FREQUENCY ON THE SPECTRUM DISPLAY WITH THAT.  I OFTEN FIND IT
EASIER TO SPOT WEAK SIGNALS ON A WATERFALL DISPLAY, AND ONE CAN BE ADDED,
AS SHOWN IN FIGURE 2.  IF FREQUENCIES ARE TOO FAR APART FOR SIGNALS FROM
BOTH RECEIVERS TO BE SHOWN ON A SINGLE DISPLAY, THEY CAN BE SEPARATED, AS
SHOWN IN FIGURE 3.  WHILE THE VIRTUAL METERS ARE FUN TO LOOK AT, THEY DO
TAKE UP A BIG CHUNK OF THE DISPLAY, AND A MORE COMPACT BAR GRAPH METER
ALLOWS MORE ROOM FOR THE SPECTRUM DISPLAY.  ALL METER CHOICES CAN BE VIEWED
