The **Rotation Delay** value +indicates the number of seconds that sdrtrunk should remain on a channel that has +stopped decoding before moving to the next frequency in the list. The application will +continue to try each frequency in the list until it discovers an active signal +to decode. + +#### Tuner Channelizer +This setting allows you to choose which channelizer sdrtrunk should use. The channelizer +is used to breakup a wide signal that you normally see from a tuner into a number +of smaller channels that are used by each of the decoders. + +**Channelizer Type** - choose between **Polyphase** and **Heterodyne** + +**Polyphase** is the default type and provides the best channelization with minimal to +no bleed over from adjacent channels. + +**Heterodyne** is less processor intensive and may be appropriate for lower powered +processors. However, this channelizer does not provide the best filtering and +some bleed over from adjacent channels can impact the performance of decoders. This +bleed over is only an issue if you have strong signals on adjacent channels next +to the channel that you are decoding. + diff --git a/v0.3/images/Preferences_V0.4.0.png b/v0.3/images/Preferences_V0.4.0.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000..b002f69 Binary files /dev/null and b/v0.3/images/Preferences_V0.4.0.png differ
