See comments below. Clay W7CE This also gets back to click-tuning. To me click-tuning is perhaps the most awkward feature of PowerSDR. Our brains expect things to stay in place and not jump from one place to another. Right now when I use click-tuning the entire display jumps to center on

Brian, Not sure if you're aware of it, but if you hold down the 'Shift' key on the keyboard while turning the mouse wheel, your tuning steps decrease by a factor of 10. So using your normal 100 Hz steps, you could get close pretty quickly, and then press the shift key to fine-tune. (Yep,
