Re: [Elecraft] P3 - Waterfall Marker?

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

Re: [Elecraft] P3 - Waterfall Marker?

Hi, I use 50 Khz or more span only to get an overview. Normally i only use 10 khz and never had problems turning the marker to the waterfall trace, so that I could catch the station next time it came up. ​73 de ​ Hajo --- Cela est bien dit, mais il faut cultiver notre jardin. >

[Elecraft] P3 - Waterfall Marker?

Am I doing something wrong or is this just how it works? I have the P3's waterfall marker turned on. The "marker" slowly crawls down the screen toward the bottom. Moving the Select knob drags the top of the marker and the rest slowly follows drawing a snake. Cute but...huh? Question: What good

Re: [Elecraft] P3 - Waterfall Marker?

Hi Steve, That's how it works. If you don't want the signal to roll off the bottom of the screen, use Freeze to stop the screen from updating or turn averaging on to slow the screen updates and provide more history. Kind regards, Paul -- View this message in context:

Re: [Elecraft] P3 - Waterfall Marker?

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

Re: [Elecraft] P3 - Waterfall Marker?

Try Fixed/Tracking and see if that helps. 73, Steve W4FMD On 11/4/2015 12:32 PM, Steve Ellington wrote: 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

Re: [Elecraft] P3 - Waterfall Marker?

I think what Steve is asking for is a dot (non-line) marker at the *bottom* of the waterfall and that doesn't have persistence (doesn't "leave a trail"), so that he can line it up with a scrolling signal and then QSY to it before it disappears off the bottom of the screen. It's actually not too

Re: [Elecraft] P3 - Waterfall Marker?

I can usually get close enough to hear the station by eye without a marker, either on the P3 or on a 24" VGA. 73, Vic, 4X6GP/K2VCO Rehovot, Israel http://www.qsl.net/k2vco/ On 4 Nov 2015 20:14, Steve Ellington wrote: All that's needed is a dot, pointer...something to act as a guide so we can

Re: [Elecraft] P3 - Waterfall Marker?

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

Re: [Elecraft] P3 - Waterfall Marker?

I always used fixed mode. Nope doesn't help. There needs to be a marker at least at the bottom of the waterfall so you can mark the signal before it disappears and shift frequency to it. On Wed, Nov 4, 2015 at 1:11 PM, Steve Glickstein wrote: > Try Fixed/Tracking and see
