Display & 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!
