All that's needed is a dot, pointer...something to act as a guide so we can line up the waterfall with the spectrum's marker. It doesn't need to be a translucent line. The dot could be at the bottom of the waterfall since that's where the desired signal is headed anyway. Great minds at Elecraft can do this! Steve N4LQ
