Do you want a logarithmic *scale* or a logarithmic *analyser* ?
In other words what exactly are you trying to do ?

Frequency range is limited to 20 kHz, it's meant to be
a perceptual analyser. Amplitude range in the display
is 80 dB and you can add gain.

How accurately you can measure certain things (or if
they will be visible at all) depends on the analyser
bandwidth and the levell of its sidelobes. For Jaaa
the BW is constant over the F range, and all sidelobes
are below -80 dB (and decreasing as you move away from
the center frequency). For Japa BW is function of F and
sidelobes are below -40 dB.
