So far I have the only Argus station that actually works. There are only five SETI stations of any description on earth today (little known fact).

I wrote it all over the last 20 years. Its in Delphi 7. The software is looking for an intentional beacon directed toward our star that is narrow band (1-5 Hz)and constant. The software scans the waterhole while locked onto a specific DEC and Ra. Right now its tracking Delta Cancri (a star in Cancer).
It shifts its receiver down in frequency in time with the Doppler shift caused by the earths rotation and looks for signals that result in straight lines in the waterfall.
You can actually download the Spectrum Analyzer and run it on the streaming audio from my system to see it work on your own computer.
