RF SIGNAL STRENGTH BARGRAPH
The 16-segment bargraph display is a part of the Scout LCD front panel display which provides a rel-
ative indication of RF signal strength. The bargraph indication at a given time does not necessarily
reflect the signal strength of the frequency shown on the display, rather an aggregate signal level indi-
cation of all RF energy detected by the Scout at that instant. It is important to note that the RF signal
strength bargraph always provides a real-time signal level indication, whereas the frequency display
may show a frequency which was detected at some time in the past. The RF signal strength bargraph
is ideal for uses such as the location of nearby transmissions and antenna pattern testing.
