I can usually get close enough to hear the station by eye without a
marker, either on the P3 or on a 24" VGA.

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!

Hi Steve,
It's pretty hard to do what you want with the P3 hardware. The P3's
hardware is nowhere close to what you can get with a standalone PC, but it
does alright for a standalone panadapter and offers some features not found
on traditional SDR systems. There's really no way to draw a translucent
line down the waterfall display and still have the P3 run at a reasonable
speed.
Kind regards,
paul

Paul et al....
"Freeze" locks up everything including the marker so how does that help?
When searching for signals we might see one on the waterfall that is half
way down the screen. We want to mark, click or do something to get us
exactly on frequency so we can either wait for the signal to return or try
calling QRZ however there doesn't seem to be a way to get on frequency
other than a rough guess.
At first when you mentioned "freeze" I was excited but now I find that
using freeze makes the situation even worse since nothing responds. I'm
just looking at a locked up system!
The marker needs to be independent of the displayed material....Like a
mouse on virtually any other SDR software.
Is that something Elecraft can do or is it impossible with this hardware
configuration?
Thanks
