This started as a question in another thread, on how to use specifically the waterfalls in the WinRadio Excalibur software as applied to using the WinRadio G31DDC Excalibur. While not an expert by any means I had at that point been using my Excalibur for over a year and waterfall displays for over 30 years. So I provided a basic answer on what the Excalibur waterfalls could be used for, and what they were.
I could see that the answer was not going to be one post, but probably several post, and might expand even more as questions were asked. So, I decided to make a new thread, beyond just the Waterfalls but into a Hints and Basics kind of thread on using the Excalibur and its WinRadio software. Many of the basics will apply to other SDRs and SDR software, although details may be different.
This is not “my” thread, I think it will only work if many people comment, ask questions, and contribute solutions. Just because I am starting the thread does not mean I think I know everything about the subject, in fact I know I do not, and I think if there are participants both asking questions and answering them the thread might be able to turn into a tool or asset for WinRadio Excalibur users, both new and not so new.
If it appears people are getting some benefit from the thread I will add things as I get a chance. If someone has a suggestion on what to be covered but not enough time to do a detailed response I will be glad to give it a try. Of course, real life, work, and grandkids means it might take me a while to get around to any one item.
Who knows, maybe it will end up being something stickied that new Excalibur users can find informative.
T!
