Hello, my name is Trevor Nielsen, I am merely a hobbyist interested in gamma spectrometry.
I've joined this forum to ask for help setting up PRA to work with my homemade scintillation probe and GS-USB-PRO; I will post my issue in a new topic in the Software section.

Trevor,

Welcome to the forum. I would be happy to provide support when/if you need it.

A screenshot of your spectrum showing the settings and uncalibrated pulse height histogram in arb.u (arbitrary units) is the best way to diagnose any potential issues with your setup.

Cheers..

Steven
