[Elecraft] P3 for EME

[Alan Bloom]

Hi Eric,

You can improve the contrast of the waterfall by expanding the SCALE.
To maximize waterfall contrast, I adjust the REF LVL to place the noise
right at the bottom of the spectrum display and then expand the SCALE as
much as possible while keeping the signals below the top of the screen.
