I’m attempting to run PSK31 with the DigiPan software, but I can’t seem to get the waterfall display to function properly ...

Q Dennis, AA0A, asks, “I’m attempting to run PSK31 with the DigiPan software, but I can’t seem to get the waterfall display to function properly. I know that audio is getting to the sound card from my transceiver (I can even record the audio using Windows Sound Recorder). Any ideas?”

A This sounds like a display problem of some sort. Are you
using the 256-color display mode? Check your Windows
display properties under SETTINGS—CONTROL PANEL—
DISPLAY. Make sure the SETTINGS are either 256-color or
“High Color.” See Figure 3.

Update: Success! I was running under the lowest color mode—16 colors. I changed the display setting to 256 colors and everything is working!—AA0A

Figure 3—To change your display color settings in Windows, you need to access the DISPLAY window in CONTROL PANEL.
