Why is it that everybody has to take such extremes with these suggestions.. Why is it that people can't understand that you could so easily have an option in the menu that would lock the display location?? Why is it that people assume that the ENTIRE P3 would be redesigned and rebuilt like an old scope from the 1950's would have to?.... This is software.. options are easy to turn on and off... For those that want something like this, why do others feel they have to "STOP" it from happening??? Okay, you don't want it, so don't turn it on in the menu... As for your Monitor scope idea, sure, why not, being able to monitor your audio and/or CW signal could be very helpful for some. I would never disagree from having that mode on the box just because I may not use it...
