Thanks Mark
I'll start over and will do as you suggest.
I'm sure you'll have been told this many times before but Lady Heather is
an amazing piece of software, thank you, even if I do feel at times that
I'm suffering from severe information overload:-)
I guess this might be more a question for John Miles, to whom also many
thanks for the Windows version, but I've noticed that, here at least, LH
seems much happier running under XP than it does under Windows 7, unless of
course it's a hardware issue.
On a 3GHz P4, using a native serial port under XP, I'm seeing around 10%
CPU load with time and data updating smoothly, whilst on a 2GHz dual core
laptop using a serial to USB adapter under Win7 although it runs ok the CPU
load is showing as around 50% and updates are erratic.
It will tick away nicely for several seconds, then pause before making a
dash to catch up, which it never quite manages with the display always at
least a few seconds behind the XP machine.
It's not a major problem, I can run more serial ports on the XP machine
anyway, and I've not yet spent any time investigating further but it is just
heather.exe that's showing as loading the CPU, so thought I'd ask first.
Regards

In Lady Hather, set the elevation mask to a low value, clear the signal
level data (S A C), let the unit run for a day or so, then do the
oscillator autotune (&A). This will set the elevation mask to a level that
matches what your antenna can see. Or you can check the elevation plot (S A E)
and see where the tick mark shows the signal level dropping off and enter
that value manually.
