Waterfall Feature Operation Manual

Introduction

The Waterfall Feature is available for the SDS100 and SDS200 scanners. It covers a

user-selectable span or band of the radio spectrum to show you graphically the radio

transmissions that are present. The Waterfall feature quickly shows you how active a

span or band of the spectrum is. When you see a transmission displayed, you can

navigate to it to listen to it.

Since all transmissions occurring in the selected span will display at the same time,

you’ll be able to see possible relationships between transmissions. For example, you

might see simultaneous repeater transmissions on multiple frequencies or find a

repeater input frequency associated with the repeater output frequency. The strength of

signals will provide clues about the nature of the transmissions or how far or near the

transmitters are. Alternatively, they will tell you the relative strengths of transmitters.

These observations will enable you to gain a quick understanding of unfamiliar radio

systems or of a new location.
