The spectrum analyzer display is accessed by entering
spectrum xxx.xx
at the command prompt, where the
characters denote the center

frequency and span frequency, respectively. The frequencies are
entered in megahertz. For example, a sample entry would be
spectrum
, corresponding to a center operating frequency of 410.00
410.00 1.5
MHz and a span (sweep width) of 1.5 MHz.
A sample display with these parameters is shown in
Figure
8. The dis-
play creates a received signal strength indication (RSSI) vs. frequency
plot for the center frequency and all surrounding signals within the
span. By analyzing the display, you can determine the presence of
other signals near the transceiver's operating frequency. Refer to the
SD4 Reference Manual for additional details.
