[Elecraft] P3 vs SDR-IQ

John,

It's true that in Fixed tune mode when you cross the boundary at either
end of the current span, the screen refreshes to the new span and you lose
your waterfall history. But in Tracking mode, don't you lose waterfall
history each time you tune?

Regarding your PX3, have you tried positioning MKR A on the signal of
interest, and then tapping the 'SELECT' knob on the PX3 to instantly take
you there? By doing that, you won't lose track of that signal. If you
decide you want to go back, push and hold the 'SELECT' knob to return to
your previous frequency.
