Surprise. Park 1 Is Single Frequency

[glabelle]

I hooked up a sensor coil to pick up the transmit frequencies from my 800. Connected to an audio spectrum analyzer I could see what was being transmitted in all the modes. Surprise, Park 1 uses only a single frequency ~ 15KHz. The amplitudes shown are relative.

I have to side with Steve’s comments on the linked thread.  As long as the machine does what I need it to do and does it well I don’t care if its got a monkey with an abacus inside!! LOL

Program ... Park1 really works in the multi-frequency mode:

I have no doubt about it....

First of April ?

Indeed, I was just starting to attempt to measure the output from my 800. The analyzer I was using didn't go up to 40KHz, which negated the validity of the test in the first place. The 800 was also in 15KHz mode, therefore the 1 freq. on Park 1. I thought I'd publish this as an April 1st measurement as I figured it might freak some out ?

Anyway, I did get a reasonable test configuration setup and measured the transmit field. In Multi-IQ, it does put out multiple frequencies in ALL modes. Obviously, the magic and "weighting" takes place in the SW of the receiver.

The graph included is the output for all the detecting modes.
