The Recon is using a different approach than the Scanner app it is originated from: it does not use a thread for frequency shifting and else rely on the statistics update event message to do the work.
This allow perfect matching between 'shifting to a new frequency' and 'waiting for the first statistic update of that frequency'.
The Recon app will stop into any frequency carrying a signal strong enough. You can adjust the signal power threshold with the SQUELCH
As the statistics only update once each 100ms, the minimum lock waiting time is also 100 ms, and the quickest frequency scanned rate is 10/s.
### In AM/NFM/WFM mode
The statistics only update once each 100ms, the minimum lock waiting time is also 100 ms, and the quickest frequency scanned rate is 10/s.
The Recon will stop into any frequency carrying a signal strong enough. You can adjust the signal power threshold with the SQUELCH
### In SPEC mode
The statistics are updated differently in regard of the bandwidth used.
A search/recon is when using one or ranges of frequencies with step. In our case it can be a list of fixed frequencies, a list of ranges, or a mix between both ranges and fixed frequencies. You know you're in search/recon mode when the button in the middle right of the screen is showing 'RECON' in blue.
A scan is when using a defined list. You know you're in scanner mode when the button in the middle right of the screen is showing 'SCANNER' in red.
The average locking time / scanned rate are following the table:
* 8k5 : 10ms => max 100/s
* 11k : 7-10ms => max 100/s
* 16k : 2-5s !! => max 333/s
* 25k : 17ms => max 58/s
* 50k : 30ms => max 33/s
* 100k: 50ms => max 20/s
* 250k and upper: 100ms => max 10/s
## Limitations
The portapack hardware is limited, and so is the list of elements that you can load.

Workflow:
* Select an input an output file, adjust the settings in CONFIG while you're at it
* Start the RECON, match frequencies, add them to your output file using autosave or STORE button
* Switch to SCANNER mode to refine your results
* Switch to SCAN mode to refine your results
Tips:
* When a file is loaded and checkbox 'autostart searching' have been checked, the search is starting as soon as the apps open up, using last launch settings
