Before going too far down the trail about lacking detail, it's important 
to realize that  resolution is also limited by the FFT parameters used 
to process the complex IF signal and convert it to the frequency 
display. According to N1AL, here are 468 active FFT bins.  I haven't 
seen numbers for the frequency and time resolution of the FFT process, 
but the upper limit of frequency resolution is (F2-F1)/468.

FWIW, I'm quite happy with the P3 display, and only wish it were smaller 
(that is, less depth front to rear) with a swiveling bracket to mount it 
to the underside of a shelf above my rig.
