P3 Waterfall Averaging

[The Smiths]

I hate to be a party pooper, Allen, but I absolutely HATE having the the waterfall average along with the audio scope on ver .031.  
 
It makes the noise floor an out of focus blob and all the code coming down through it just a big blur.  I would MUCH prefer to have the upper portion ONLY average, and the bottom waterfall just work as it always did before.
If you have others that like that waterfall averaging, perhaps it can be a settings that you select WHAT you're going to average. As for now I can no longer use the Averaging display.  Thanks,

There's an option in the MENU to turn it on or off: "Wfall Avg".

Thank you Alan.  That's just what I needed!  Good programming!

I'm really liking version .031, now that the waterfall situation is not an issue. I haven't found any new problems that affect me.  I'll let you know if I do.
 
Any ideas on what we can do to remove the drifting?  I've noticed on 2 units now that they all continue to drift DOWN in freq. as the day goes on.

Alan,

I am curious about the algorithm you used for the averaging.  Is it just a straightforward, uniformally weighted average or do you use something more sophisticated? , e.g., an exponentially weighted average.

Ed,

It's exponentially weighted.
