Level App

Introduction

The level app is as simple as possible and allow you to monitor available level meters in a single view. CTCSS tone showed if NFM is selected.

Buttons

[LNA] , [VGA] , [AMP] , [VOL] => gains, amplification on/off and volume
[BW] , [Mode] , [STEP] => bandwidth, demodulation and step
[FREQ] , [AUDIO] => Frequency adjustement, audio on/off (audio button also controls beep mode in SPEC)
[PEAK] => enable peak hold and timer, or disable it
[xXX] => set the number of columns in the live history

Informations on screen

RSSI: min, average, max values, beep squelch value in db (adjustable)
POWER: current db power level
RxSat: Receiver Saturation in percent. Ideal value around 80%. Color gradient between (0,blue),(80,green),(100,red) [CTCSS tone if NFM is selected]

Right level meter

RSSI min => blue fill
RSSI avg => horizontal white bar
RSSI max => red fill, peak hold in green if enable

Graphs

RSSI min, average, max => blue, white and red lines clipped between [ 31, 170 ] and scaled along the height of the RSSIGraph widget
POWER => green line, clipped between [ -100 , +20 ] and scaled along the height of the RSSIGraph widget
