Hi Tom, There are LCD icons for both RIT and XIT. XIT is rarely used, and you'd think that those who do use it would be motivated to keep an eye on both the XIT icon and the Delta-F LED. That said, I'll add to my list consideration of flashing the XIT icon and/or the Delta-F LED. I have to be careful with such changes because of unintended side effects and the annoyance factor. It would certainly need a menu entry for disabling this behavior.
