Baudline

Baudline is a time-frequency browser designed for scientific visualization of the spectral domain. Signal analysis is performed by Fourier, correlation, and raster transforms that create colorful spectrograms with vibrant detail. Conduct test and measurement experiments with the built in function generator, or play back audio files with a multitude of effects and filters. The baudline signal analyzer combines fast digital signal processing, versatile high speed displays, and continuous capture tools for hunting down and studying elusive signal characteristics.

Back to working on fldigi

No love for cw keying with the RigBlaster NoMIC via the serial port and Fldigi.
The nomic hardware will key the rig using CWType running on wine.
Sadly after some research it would appear that fldigi supports right channel cw keying via the audio jack from the PC sound card. This method of keying will requirer a different circuit to interface with the radio.
