This mode is selected by clicking on the FFT button.
It displays the spectrum of the received signal. It is very useful for properly tuning in a station, and finding the shift rate of an RTTY station. It may also be used to look for weak signals by integrating over time, and graphically displaying the results using a waterfall display.
 
The NRM and PIC buttons toggle between a normal display, and a waterfall picture. The LOG button can be used when in the waterfall mode, to make the display logarithmic, rather than linear. This is useful when looking for weak signals. The X button will clear the spectrum display, and discard old spectral information.
 
These buttons can be used to select multiple integrations. This is useful in the waterfall display mode, when looking for weak signals. By averaging together (integrating) multiple spectrums, noise is filtered out, and signals remain. This can be used to bring weak signals "out of the noise".
 
The above sample shows an RTTY station properly tuned it. Notice that the lower frequency has been centered on 1800 Hz, by carefully adjusting the radio’s tuning knob. The shift may be directly read by looking at the difference between the Mark and Space frequencies, in this case around 800 Hz. Selecting the 850 Hz shift option will allow the signal to be properly decoded (presuming the correct speed is selected, and the station isn’t encrypted).
