Add option to display system data at the bottom of the SSDR panel

Add a toggle button to the right of FDX to display system environment information such as input voltage and temperature along the bottom of the main SSDR panel.

Right now I use DDUtil to check those parameters which works fine but that adds just one more third party application that's using additional computer resources and displays one more window to clutter up the screen.

    Tom, that's a good idea but I would prefer to not use a third party app to access the data that exists in the 6700. It should be readily available for display within SSDR.

    Well, it's only been 6 years so I guess they're still thinking about it.

    I guess that closes the subject then, maybe we will have it and maybe we will never see it.

    Yes, you can move Stacks around but I don't see an option to anchor Stacks to the SSDR panel. 

    If you move SSDR around (I do a lot) then Stacks is out of position and when that happens and transparent is used you end up with a  "floating" display on your desktop.

    FRstack has one click to turn on/off that meter display. Colors are coordinated and works great for my station, I don't move mine at all. Well Pat either use FRstack or not, just saying works for me.
    Why would you be moving SSDR around alot, that would be too confusing for me. I unlock a panadapter or few to be displayed on other monitors sometimes but the main SSDR pretty much stays, if I do move it to another monitor to my neck a break, I simply drag the FRstack meter window right with it. Easy peasy.

    I move SSDR around because I'm using only 1 display at the moment and I have other things to do while I monitor the radio.
