[Elecraft] P3 for Alan: VFO A Cursor color in FixTrack Mode - for Alan

Hmmm ... don't know, but generally speaking anything monochrome works 
for me.  Ansel Adams photos look great to me, monochrome TV is fine too. 
  My wife tells me the P3 spectrum display background is deep blue, 
which is just barely distinguishable for me from the black WF background 
in monochrome mode.  When information is conveyed on a display, graph, 
Power Point slide, or whatever using different colors, I do fine if:

1.  The various colors look different to me; and

2.  They are identified somewhere in text denoting what each means.

Scientific American [lots of graphs and color coded diagrams] can often 
be incomprehensible to me.  Well, sometimes the text is incomprehensible 
for me even without the graphs. :-)

Finding the VFO A cursor [green] in the spectrum display [yellow] when 
the band is full of signals is my real goal.  I don't really look much 
at the spectrum half of the display much except to see what the level of 
a signal is in dBm and find the cursor, the monochrome WF is much more 
useful for me.  Anything that would make the cursor stand out would be fine.

Let us also not forget, this may affect exactly one Elecraft customer, 
hardly worth a lot of engineering effort. :-)
