Barry,
I didn't understand that. How do you get the bandmap to overlay a blip on
the scope?
The bandmap is a window in my logging screen.
Perhaps I have missed something. Please explain.
What is the relevance of "new blip"?
If I haven't worked it yet, it doesn't matter how old it is. It's still new
to me.

The bandmap needs to overlay the blips on the band scope, then you have the
best of both worlds and know at a glance that it's a "new" blip.
