Hi Jim,

Then you can not possibly measure splatter with that unit, unless
you are interested in splatter 60 kHz or more away. To paint a
picture of the signal it must have a selectivity much less than that
of the signals.

If it does not store peaks, and read the highest peak as it sweeps
many hundreds of times, you won't be able to use it on voice
accurately.
