P3 waterfall curser operation

[Smith B.]

I can't get my P3 SVGA to turn on the waterfall cursor. I go to the menu
and tap the knob but no cursor appears. Suggestions please...
Firmware is up to date.

Hi Smith,

The P3/SVGA waterfall cursor is incorrectly named, it should read 'waterfall marker" in the release notes.  The cursor is not shown in the SVGA waterfall, but if you turn on Marker A or B, they will appear.

Why is are waterfall cursors not available?  They would be much more useful
than the frequency spectrum display.

Hi Allan,

The short answer is that the hardware doesn't support it.  The long
answer is that the video chip we are using on the SVGA accessory board
limits us to how many "video layers" we can combine to produce the video
image.  Overlaying the cursors on to the waterfall would require an
additional layer which we do not have.

Paul

Would it be possible to turn off the the spectrum display and its cursor
and add the cursor to the waterfall display?
