Whereas the basic premise for packet spots is to tell you what happened a while ago at somewhere else, panadapters tell you what it happening now on your antenna. I asked Larry, K8UT, to mention what's new in N1MM Logger+: 'The biggest news, which may be old news to some, is N1MM+'s embedded Spectrum Display. NEWS, PRESS RELEASES, AND GENERAL INTEREST
