I find the CWT indicator very useful as a manual tuning aid, for auto zero beating using SPOT, and for obtaining the proper decoding threshold for CW, PSK, and RTTY. I am also one who uses the RF GAIN control to minimize band noise and increase the S/N ratio of weak signals. Unfortunately, the CWT indication is greatly affected by the RF GAIN setting. Turning down the RF GAIN for weak signals often turns off the CWT indication for that signal. In addition, turning down the RF GAIN affects the required threshold setting for decoding CW, PSK, and RTTY.
I was wondering if it is possible in a future firmware to unlink the dependence of the appearance of the CWT marker and the decoding thresholds on the RF GAIN setting? I suspect this is not possible, but if so it would greatly improve the usefulness of CWT for those that use the RF GAIN knob often.
