Finally loaded up the latest version 3.  Very nice, audio and agc are very 
smooth. Haven't used it enough to comment further except to say I really miss 
the little tuning dot above the spectrum display that tracked your frequency 
changes relative to the spectrum.  Yes it was imprecise but I could at least 
get into the vicinity of an interesting signal.  When you turned the freq knob, 
the sweep would freeze as it does now and the dot would move above the 
spectrum.  What are the chances of getting that back, or am I missing 
something?  Also there have been some comments about the spectral peak of a 
signal not centering right on the centerline.  Actually I believe the frequency 
of a SSB signal is defined as the carrier frequency, not the midpoint of the 
sideband.  So it would make sense for the cursor to align offset from the side 
and energy peak. The sideband peak would be above the carrier for USB, and 
below for lsb.
Anyway, what about that tuning dot?

Thanks, and nice work TT!
