This is a BIG negative for me. The current firmware lacks the Fixed Tune 
Mode, which GREATLY reduces its usefulness. To see weak signals, we must 
use lots of averaging and keep the noise near the bottom of the 
amplitude display. But without Fixed Tune Mode, averaging re-starts with 
each QSY, so you can't see those weak signals as you tune the band. I've 
heard that they're working on some limited version of Fixed Tune Mode. 
If it doesn't show up pretty soon, and if it isn't reasonably useful, my 
PX3 will be for sale.

Caps added for emphasis.
