Hi Bob,
Looks like nobody has replied to your question so let me see if I can...
Not sure what software you are using but all or most have the 'scale', yes this can be set to represent either Frequency or Audio, I use MixW a lot and under it's Waterfall menu there is a setting to change it to either of the aforementioned or 'Auto' (which is Frequency anyway)
You've probably researched and found your own answer to the question by now but if not then I hope I've been of some help.
