This was discussed a while ago and those users who were using the FastGraph
wanted to keep the control on the main window.
So...preferring usability over confusion was the result and it was decided to
keep it on the main window.
It will be a teaching process and I'm sure we'll get lots of "slider doesn't
work anymore" -- but the education process is well worth it.If we took it off
we'd get the same questions except "what happend to the slider" -- still
requiring the same education.
The tooltip on the slider tells you exactly what it does. Maybe we should
stick a "THIS DOESN'T CONTROL THE METER ANYMORE" in there...but they still
wouldn't read the tooltip in all likelihood.
Or maybe a splash screen that tells the major differences?

About the former “digital gain” slider - yes, I agree it’s time to move it out
of the main window. If the functionality is retained in the fast and slow
graphs, then it can be eliminated entirely. We might want to consider unifying
the waterfall controls in a pop up that can be hidden once adjusted, leaving
just a hide/unhide button on the graph/waterfall.
Like Gary, I don’t adjust it too often once set up on a band.
