Enhancement to let you drag a panadapter to another monitor.
With the addition of the waterfall, the screen real estate is filling up quickly when running multiple panadapters. Even with 3 or 4 and it gets pretty crowded. Some folks have 2, 3 or 4 monitors available and that could help.
Idea - allow the panadapters to be docked on another monitor. For example, the Chorme brower allows you drag a tab to another monitor. As you can see in the video, you can drag a panadapter to another window but of course it won't stay.
I know docking panels has been suggested before but I couldn't find a reference to moving them to another monitor. Let me know if this has already been suggested and is redundant. There are probably other (and maybe better) ways to utilize multiple monitors. For example, allowing multiple instances of SSDR might work well.

Hopefully in the future?
I would like to see two solutions to this.
1) Allowing a single instance to dock panadapters on different screens. Only one screen will have focus and only the active slice will show in the side panel. Great for a single op with multiple monitors.
2) Allow simultaneous connection to one radio from different computers. Each computer will have one of its panadapters active and one screen in focus. What this adds is the second computer will not steal focus from the first, and multiple mice, flex controls, keyboards can be concurrently active. This would normally be used by a second operator but a multi-tasking single operator could handle it.
Naturally only one transmit at a time.
Q: Can the transverter and the power amplifier transmit concurrently? How much of the transmit process can be multi-threaded software and how much is single pathed hardware? This would permit a VHF contact concurrent with a digital HF transfer.
Now, try doing something like that with a box radio.
Agree.....and don't forget to add your VOTE.

There are "loose ends" accumulating. This is one of them. A few small things can make the
difference between a ragged and a finished product, even though we know the quality that lies
within.

more features equal more customers. More customers equal more profit - seems pretty obvious to me.

I have 4 monitors and a 43" 4K on the way, it would be awesome to be able to spread things out.
