You can increase the waterfall sensitivity by adjusting the REF LVL to 
place the noise right at the bottom of the spectrum display and then 
increasing the SCALE setting.  The same REF LVL and SCALE settings are 
applied to both the spectrum and the waterfall displays.  For further 
details, see the PX3 User's Manual section called "How to Set Up and 
Interpret the OX3 Display".

To erase a FN key setting, use the FN Erase menu function.  You can also 
over-write it by assigning a different function.
