 Have a look at the following two images, which show the RF baseband spectral views in different sample sizes and different tools, both centered on 90 MHz with other broadcasting stations on 89.5 MHz and 90.6 MHz in the 2Msps view. Have a look at the following two images, which show the RF baseband spectral views in different sample sizes and different tools, both centered on 90 MHz with other broadcasting stations on 89.5 MHz and 90.6 MHz in the 2Msps view.

-The spectrum chart shows what's going on right now, the waterfall gives you the same information, but as a sequence of spectrum chart slices stacked together over a period of time and observed from the top, which is an invaluable tool to actually watch and observe frequency ranges and modulations.+The spectrum chart (left top/right bottom) shows what's going on right now, the waterfall (left bottom/right top) gives you the same information, but is a sequence of spectrum charts stacked together and observed from the top as 3 dimensional chart, showing time (y), frequency (x) and signal strength (z), which is an invaluable tool to actually watch and observe frequency ranges and modulations over a period of time, to recognize patterns visually.
  
 It's also interesting to note, how the spectrum of B5 on 90.0 MHz is clearly distinguishable from the other broadcasting stations in the RF baseband. There seem to be two signals 76 kHz left and right from 90.0 MHz   It's also interesting to note, how the spectrum of B5 on 90.0 MHz is clearly distinguishable from the other broadcasting stations in the RF baseband.

-The stereo difference signal (L−R) is modulated onto a 38 kHz double-sideband suppressed-carrier (DSB-SC) signal occupying the baseband range of 23 to 53 kHz. A 19 kHz pilot tone, at exactly half the 38 kHz sub-carrier frequency and with a precise phase relationship to it, is also generated. This is transmitted at 8–10% of overall modulation level and used by the receiver to regenerate the 38 kHz sub-carrier with the correct phase.+The stereo difference signal (L−R) is modulated onto a 38 kHz double-sideband suppressed-carrier (DSB-SC) signal occupying the baseband range of 23 to 53 kHz.
