Yes, no mouse pointer is necessary. > I understand that modern Icom radios (IC-7610, IC-7851) already support > click-to-tune on their waterfall displays using a USB mouse or touch-screen > tap, but they ignore the scroll wheel completely, making them much less > useful. Elecraft can and should do better. Yes, we used two IC-7851s at WRTC and the scope worked as you described. Besides you could use a right-click on the mouse to listen on a frequency and return to your CQ-frequency upon releasing the button. Yes, the fine-tune functionality is missing at ICOM. During practical operation one hand was controlling the mouse and the other hand the main-VFO for fine-tuning. Room for improvements! > If Elecraft needs to „monetize" this to make it happen, *I would gladly pay > $50 for a P3 firmware upgrade that provides P3SVGA mouse support.* I would be willing to pay for it as well. While playing with my P3 with SVGA-option for a while, now, I realize that I sometimes would prefer a slightly faster waterfall speed. On the other hand I never use the scope display above the waterfall. So maybe some CPU power could be rearranged to optimize the waterfall. Thanks everybody for a good P3 discussion! 73, Stefan DL1IAO, SA3CWW/SM9A -- Stefan v.
