[Elecraft] P3 SVGA Query

[Vic, 4X6GP/K2VCO]

I noticed a similar problem on a 1024x768 monitor. The flicker was 
annoying on the waterfall section. A work-around was to turn the 
waterfall averaging feature on in the SVGA menu, and set the averaging 
value to the minimum (2). This eliminated the flicker and didn't smear 
the waterfall too much.

Unfortunately, I wanted to use a higher value of averaging for the 
spectrum display, and I didn't like the way it 'blurred' the waterfall. 
My solution was to get a larger monitor which didn't have the obtrusive 
flicker, turn off waterfall averaging, and increase the averaging 
parameter to a value which I liked better for the spectrum display :-)
