Hi Bob
I've goofed around ( That's what I do when I don't know what I'm doing) with your very nice filter program. It seems that in your examples the p and s waves get more distinct as you filter the raw data. I have a 3 second period horizontal which produced nice distinct p and s waves for the Okhotsk event. It seems that any combination of periods and filtering either doesn't change the plot much or makes it worse. I start out with 2x heliplot gain and have to reduce it to .01x to keep the plot on scale after applying filtering parameters.

I'm entering 3 sec for my period, 0.7 for damping, and 10 seconds for the period extension.

Do you have some suggested settings to get me started?

Thanks,
Pete
