KN6PLV Network Waterfall Scanner
--------------------------------
`Tim KN6PLV <https://www.qrz.com/db/KN6PLV>`_ created this program to assist with discovering the RF conditions around your node. It is installed as a node package which is available here: `KN6PLV Waterfall <https://github.com/kn6plv/waterfall>`_. Once installed it is accessible via URL from any web browser on the network at ``http://[NODENAME]/cgi-bin/waterfall``. It will disconnect your node from the mesh while it continuously scans for nearby RF signals, so it does require authentication with the node's login credentials in order to run. The *Spectral View* shows the strength of nearby signals, while the *Waterfall* maintains a record over time of the RF environment. This package does *not* work on node hardware having ``802.11ac`` chipsets.
