I'll echo what everyone has said about using the waterfall. Pretty much just maximize the area of the waterfall display to the extent the P3 will let you. Then S&P is a matter of hopping from trace to trace, and you don't miss the ones you would be missing by tuning past them without the display. Finding a space is easier too. I like a Span of 10 for RTTY. At that size you can see plenty of signals and with practice you can even use the P3 as a tuning aid to tune in the signal when it reappears. 73 jeff wk6i
