[TenTec] 566 Orion II Firmware Version V3.029 ---Spectrum Display & Tuning dot

[N4be_Jim]

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!
