[1000mp] Spottinf Feature

[Robert Herndon]

The spotting feature has been the subject of discussion hear since 1995 and 
the original MP.  Let's face it, tuning in a cw signal is really more art 
then science.  If we can't do it ear, we need to stick with SSB.  This was a 
feature the marketing guys probably thought up.
