@@ -76,6 +76,7 @@ Done since the fork
   - Added display and precise control of the shift frequency from center frequency of the SSB receivers.
   - Make the sidebands appear correctly on SSB channel overlay. Limit to +/- 6 kHz to fit channel spectrum analyzer window
   - SSB bandwidth can now be tuned in steps of 100 Hz
+  - NFM and SSB receiver in focus trigger the display of the central frequency line on the spectrum frequency scale thus facilitating its identification
