New MCS version 0.0.9b has just been released!
See http://spectran-developer.net/typo3/index.php?id=9 for Download and the Changelog.
Version 0.0.9b is just a bugfix release and doesn't offer new features over 0.0.8b. Bugfixes concern Limits display and Spectrum scaling when using a NF Spectran.
One question please.
When the full version comes out, will still be free?
Thanks in advance.
It has been always our policy to offer our PC software free of charge but it could be possible that some special high end plug in features might cost some money in the future. We will see.

Thanks for your reply.
MSC software is excellent. Continue the good work.
Looking forward to the final version. I hope you stay true to free software.
Best wishes from Serbia.
P.S.
Where and ho can I ask about the best RBW and VBW settings for measuring UMTS/HSPA for instrument written below?
-SPECTRAN® HF-2025E (700MHz to 2,5GHz)
-Radial Isotropic Broadband-Antenna OmniLOG® 90200 (700MHz-2,5GHz)
-LCS Spectrum Analyzer v2.0.0.1
The standard EN50492:2010, D.4.2 says If instrument dont have appropriate RBW and VBW to take in this case
RBW- 0.3MHz
VBW- 3MHz
what's your opinion?
Thanks again.
Since the Rev3 offers no 5MHz RBW (the V4 series do offer a 5MHz RBW), which you need for perfect UMTS measurement, you should use the 3MHz RBW instead which also works fine.
