Hi Alan, If it came to a vote, I would suggest the use of a full height vertical line to indicate one's transmitter frequency on any panadapter's spectrum display, because it is much easier to see than a cursor or a marker or a couple of little arrows, especially at 3 am. Also when using a full height vertical line, it becomes easy to set one's Tx carrier frequency into the 'right hole' during a pileup.
I would suggest that if you do use a full height vertical line, it dhould be placed "behind" the panadapter's spectrum display. Of course,whether one's Tx frequency is set by VFO B or XIT, or by any other means, this should not affect the panadapter's indication of one's Tx frequency. If you could colour a vertical line red that would be a bonus. 73, Geoff GM4ESD On March 14, 2011, at 16:32Z, Alan Bloom wrote: >I agree that XIT is probably used much less often than VFO B to control > the transmit frequency.
