OUTLINE can be used to show an additional spectrum on the top frame.
By default, OUTLINE is disabled:
When enabled, the available OUTLINE formats include the AUDIO spectrum (with optional quick notch filters) ...
... the mirror copy of SPECTOR ...
... the signal levels of the OVERSEAS frequencies ...
... the signal levels on the FULL MW spectrum ...
... and OUTLIERS (the signal peaks found outside the standard MW9/M10 nominals):
All these graphs can be used for jumping to the desired frequency (except AUDIO: clicking this spectrum adds/deletes a notch filter).
OUTLINE can be triggered by moving the mouse cursor over the SLIDER > OUTLINE button and selecting the desired spectrum by clicking/scrolling. The startup default can be defined in SETTINGS > SLIDER > OUTLINE.
The AUDIO spectrum shows the same audio spectrum as in AUDIO WINDOW, but in a flattened mode. This is a handy mode to spot the active notches and to define manual notches without opening the AUDIO WINDOW. Each notch is shown as a triangle and you can add/delete a notch by clicking the spectrum.
Other spectra can be used for direct jumps to the desired frequency (shown as red when the mouse cursor is moved over the spectrum)
The strongest signal peak frequency is always shown on the OVERSEAS and FULL MW spectra. Sometimes the change of this frequency can indicate changes in the reception conditions.
OUTLIERS is an experimental mode and it may be removed from the future versions, if it is not reliable/does not give any extra benefits. The OUTLIERS algorithm tries to collect and show the signals which are faraway from the standard MW9/MW10 frequencies. These kind of faraway offsets are visible only when using the SPECTOR magnification level 1 (if even then) and users normally do not keep that magnification level active when scanning the dial. "Faraway" here means carriers that are more than +/- 100Hz from the nominal, and frequencies outside the standard MW9/MW10 stepping are fully skipped (there are not many interesting MW DX stations on non-MW9/MW10 frequencies but there are a lot of "non-MW DX peaks" out there, ruining the whole idea if we show also those peaks).
OUTLIERS uses a cheap and quick detector and it should normally show only the main "out of the nominal" stations (Iranians, R Santa Rosa, etc.). There are restrictions what this kind of cheap detector can find - it may sometimes show also "false positives", however sometimes it can spot true carriers that are not (yet) visible on the main SPECTOR magnification level 1 (but when the carrier power increases later, it will appear also to the main spectrum).
When an OUTLIERS peak is clicked, the system jumps to that frequency, changes the SPECTOR magnification level to 1 and switches to the optimal SSB for that offset. This frequency is not the exact carrier frequency (but rounded using 0.1kHz precision), so further tuning based on the exact SPECTOR peak may be needed for optimal playback of the wanted signal.
