A choice of FFT Windows to apply to the FFT performed on the de-chirped signal is provided. These are the same windows as those used in the spectrum display. The effect of windowing is to reduce the spill over in adjacent bins at the expense of a flatter top and fatter main lobe. When the purpose is frequency detection this is not what is desired necessarily and thus the "Rectangular" window (i.e. no window) should be chosen. However a variety of windows is provided to experiment with. Experimentally the best alternative to "Rectangular" is "Kaiser" then "Bartlett" and "Hanning". The complete list is:

- In SSB mode this is the upper (USB: positive frequencies) or lower (LSB: negative frequencies) cutoff of the in channel single side band bandpass filter. The value triggers LSB mode when negative and USB when positive
|

- In DSB mode this is half the bandwidth of the double side band in channel bandpass filter therefore the value is prefixed with the ± sign.

<h4>13.1: Volume</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
This is the volume of the audio signal in dB from 0 (no gain) to 40 (10000). It can be varied continuously in 1 dB steps using the dial button. When AGC is engaged it is recommended to set a low value in dB not exceeding 3 db (gain 2). When AGC is not engaged the volume entirely depends on the RF power and can vary in large proportions. Hence setting the value in dB is more convenient to accommodate large differences.
