Not sure what version you updated from. I haven't seen that little dot on
mine (2.044) but recently updated to 3.029. Dot sounds like a nice idea
because with the display freezing it is hard to tell where you have tuned
to. Have to pause and let everything catch up to see if you have over
shot..
I am struggling a bit with getting a lot of benefit out of the SAF. I'm
sure it's just a matter of settings. Have really needed it on the recent
DXpedition from Spratley. CW sigs in the noise.
Thanks..

&Tuning dot
Finally loaded up the latest version 3. Very nice, audio and agc are very
smooth. Haven't used it enough to comment further except to say I really
miss the little tuning dot above the spectrum display that tracked your
frequency changes relative to the spectrum. Yes it was imprecise but I
could at least get into the vicinity of an interesting signal. When you
turned the freq knob, the sweep would freeze as it does now and the dot
would move above the spectrum. What are the chances of getting that back,
or am I missing something? Also there have been some comments about the
spectral peak of a signal not centering right on the centerline. Actually
I believe the frequency of a SSB signal is defined as the carrier
frequency, not the midpoint of the sideband. So it would make sense for
the cursor to align offset from the side and energy peak. The sideband
peak would be above the carrier for USB, and below for lsb.
Anyway, what about that tuning dot?
Thanks, and nice work TT!
