[DSP-10] Waterfall - Solution?

Thanks Lars and Mike for catching this.  Yes, 3.94 does not have the 
simple alternative front panel.

Here's the story.  I am looking for areas to remove and make the program 
smaller.  As was explained for LHL-7, the ALT-Y slide-rule dial was 
placed under conditional compilation.  What this means is that I search 
through looking for any program pieces that relate to the particular 
area and surround these with pre-compile "if" statements that 
essentially remove them from the program.  But, they can be put back by 
changing one number from a 0 to a 1.

In case it is needed, I put version 3.80, which has the ALT-Y dial, back 
for download.  It is
   http://www.proaxis.com/~boblark/uhfa380.zip

V3.80 is missing a couple of items, but nothing that brakes the program:
   * Airplane peak data in the LTI DAT file
   * Extra delays necessary but not sufficient for use with WinXP.
   * Provision for frequencies to a milliHz
   * 18 Hz FFT resolution (so-called 9600 width).
   * Use of Page Up for RF gain toggle

Also, v3.80 will work fine with the new version 35 of the DSP.

The next update of the DSP-10 web page will reflect this.

It might be best to run 3.80 and 3.94 from two separate directories.  
That would keep the changes to the UHFA.CFG isolated.  This will not 
keep anything from running, however.

Let me know if there are any problems with this arrangement.

73,  Bob
