P3 fixed tune - no marker

[Chris Meagher-3]

P3 Version 1.0 - I note that in fixed tune mode, there is no vertical
line marker to indicate the tuned frequency, only the bandwidth marker
at the bottom. Anyone know why it is absent? Its not user-friendly when
tuning to a peak with a marker that is down at the bottom of the display
in the noise floor.
Any chance, programmers, that it might be made available? Otherwise, new
firmware 1.0 is great.

Also noticed a small glitch, I put the menu item fixed/tracking into
function 8, and it also went into F1 to 4, overwriting what what
previously there. Anyone else get something similar?

Cheers,   Chris Meagher VK2ACD

As well as a vertical line marker to indicate the tuned frequency in
fixed tuning mode, I would like to see a better implementation of the
passband indicator.  Being in the noise as it tends to be, it's
continuously overwritten by the signal trace, making it hard to see.  
PowerSDR software programmers implemented the passband indicator as a
different colored background. This might be a place to start. 73, Dirk

Excellent idea on the different colored background Dirk- I believe (from
memory) the SDR-IQ does this the same way.
