[Elecraft] P3SVGA Display

[David Gilbert]

I don't own a P3, but if I did I'd like to have the option to make the 
waterfall scroll from right to left like CW Skimmer does in Blind Mode.  
With a bit of practice, you can teach yourself to visually decode CW 
(assuming the resolution is adequate) sufficiently to catch a missing 
character without having to ask for a repeat.  Having the display scroll 
right to left makes the CW string read left to right like most of us 
would more readily grasp.  I'm not saying that a vertical scroll is a 
LOT more difficult to read ... only that horizontal is more intuitive.
