P3: VFO Cursors in WF

[k6dgw]

Would there be any support for a P3 option to display the VFO cursors in
the waterfall area?  The WF is mainly what I watch, I can see signals
there that I'd never find in the spectrum display [and sometimes can't
hear either :-)].  Admittedly mainly in contests, I will find a trace in
the WF area, I'll try and put the VFO over it, I usually miss a bit if
he's gone for a few moments, and with 150 or 200 Hz BW, I'm usually not
close enough to hear him when he comes back.

FWIW:  I use the monochrome waterfall option, I don't have any idea how
this might play out for folks with normal color vision ... could be way
off base with this idea.

Sounds like a great idea. That would be a great aid for teaching on the GOTA station.
