Hi Steve, I agree that a dot or small vertical line at the bottom of the screen would work great for this purpose.
The bottom white 'frame' already has small vertical 'tic' marks on it. I think adding a small tic or dot just beneath that bottom frame would do the trick. That way, the active part of the screen isn't being painted. 73, Dale WA8SRA > 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.
