Thanks Andrew! I was already poking around this afternoon and deducing some of the new header structure and where the lat/lon/height is stored with each sweep.

BTW, the GPS feature is awesome. I have wanted that for a long time. I have been running a separate script and having to post-process to line up the logged GPS coordinates with each Spike sweep. My only request is that you might consider adding some visual indicator that GPS is working, right on or near the spectrum display. Perhaps a small “GPS” button that lights up green when GPS status is good, red when not good, and grey when GPS is not connected. That could be placed, for example, within the grey border above the spectrum or waterfall plot, next to the intensity slider. Just a thought. (If there already is a visual indicator, other than leaving the GPS Control Panel open, let me know — maybe I’m blind!)

Also, the decimation option is GREAT too. That will really help with long-term spectrum monitoring. My hard disk will be very happy.

One quick question — is the sweep time still taken from the system clock, or is it grabbed from GPS if available? I presume the former since the serial GPS output is only every second or so not very continuous.

Thanks again.

Andy
