Mike, Bill,
FWIW I’d like to keep the slider. I like the idea of encouraging users to read
the manual.

There were those that still wanted the waterfall adjustment for the fast graph
handy so leaving it as an option would be the only solution.
I submitted some tooltip changes a while ago to make it pretty much
in-your-face on the meter tooltip.
Then we need to spice up the documentation so be more in-your-face too.
"Transceiver setup" as an index title is not intuitive but hopefully most know
how to use search for keywords. I tried to see if you could put a hyperlink in
a tool tip but appears not. Though about doing a ctrl-click on the meter or
such to bring up the relevant section in the manual then put the ctrl-click
info in the tooltip.

I'd say the vast majority have no use for the slider anymore.
So let's hide it by default and have an enable checkbox in the config.
I'll do that patch if you think that's acceptable...we'll still end up with
"what happened to..." but se la vie...
Hi Mike,
if you are going to do a patch then remove the slider altogether, that is
probably the best option. It is of limited value and will always be
misunderstood by many who don't understand the underlying realities of digital
samples. Unfortunately the result may well be that those who miss the slider
will revert to using the operating system sliders which are effectively the
same thing and equally pointless (even harmful at extreme settings) as the
WSJT-X slider.
