I've been enjoying SkyRoof for a few months now! I would like to put in a suggestion for a future release/update that would allow for a "deeper" zoom, I guess, for the waterfall window. I'm experimenting with using CW Skimmer to decode the CW beacon sats. The challenge for me is trying to fine tune the RIT function to lock on to the beacons. If I was able to zoom in to take a closer look at the sats signal signature and where it's falling in the RIT box, I think that would be a help. Some of these beacons are very short and at infrequent intervals.

Anyway, thanks for a wonderful program!

When you zoom in the waterfall using the mouse wheel, the maximum resolution that you can achieve is 20 Hz per pixel. This seems to be adequate for precisely tuning a CW receiver (500 Hz bandwidth) to a CW signal. If you need an even higher resolution, please explain why.
