To see weak signals, we must use lots of averaging and keep the noise near the bottom of the amplitude display. But without Fixed Tune Mode, averaging re-starts with each QSY, so you can't see those weak signals as you tune the band. I've heard that they're working on some limited version of Fixed Tune Mode. If it doesn't show up pretty soon, and if it isn't reasonably useful, my PX3 will be for sale.
