Leif Asbrink leif at sm5bsz.comHello John, > I'm looking at 192 kHz of spectrum in a 1024 bin FFT, so that's 187.5 Hz > per bin.

This would be the case if the FFT is un-windowed which it is probably not. A window function will make the data points go towards zero at the ends of the data block. Have a look here: http://www.sm5bsz.com/slfft/slfft.htm The filter function that each fft bin represents can be obtained by computing the FFT of the window function. If you do not know it, you might guess that it is 300 Hz or so. A better strategy is to select for example SSB mode with a filter bandwidth of 1 kHz. Then measure the noise level within the passband. Many SDR software have a true RMS detector that would allow precise measurements. 73 Leif
