I finally got around to trying writing to RAM, and the result is worse - my
replay FFT is static.

I am trying to record a chunk of spectrum (in this case the shortwave
chunk, 0-30MHz) and then go back and look at small pieces to find my
specific data. If someone can provide insight into how to do this, I would
appreciate it.

Thank you all for all the assistance to date.
