The new 'Q' functions of eSPYonARD really require a new thread so people can add or discuss any other things they can do. There do seem to be a lot of possibilities.
I have found an interesting extra use for the 'Q' feature Q-Search, his feature will give notification of any lift conditions as they happen or if left unattended will give a record of signals heard.
To Use:
Set-up eSPY to search a ham VHF or UHF repeater band.
Lock out the repeaters that you can hear under normal conditions using the PASS feature.
Activate Search and Q-Search, a search list will appear. During normal conditions the list will remain empty.
Q-Search will sample any non locked out frequency found and if the frequency remains active for a couple of seconds it will appear as a timed stamped entry in the list including mode and bandwidth, if the activity continues Q-Search will wait a couple more seconds then the search will resume.
The clever bit is not the search but the filtering of signals that last longer than a couple of seconds as being a valid transmission and not just a click or a pop..
To test the filtering Q-Search the band with the lock outs (PASS) removed, you will find the expected signals logged to the list but not the odds and ends of interference you would normally find whilst searching.

Wonder what you have planned next?
