Here is the problem:
There is no problem, ICOM users are the problem.
Here is my solution:
ICOM has trained your mind to expect a beautiful (granted), unresponsive, low resolution, slow, piece of garbage that is only suitable for SSB use. You need to realise Yaesu have given the amateur world a functionality upgrade. If you are interested in looks over functionality, buy an ICOM.
Here is the thinking:
Start by correctly adjusting the gain level so it isn't spikey.
If you don't like fast, accurate (spikey) spectrum scope, minimise the spectrum scope and maximise the waterfall.
If you are a CW operator you will enjoy being able to visually decode CW on the Yaesu waterfall.... In the fast 3 setting, you can decode useful CW speeds.
Also, if ICOM truly had the performance of Yaesu's spectrum scope, but chose to average it to make it more "beautiful", why doesn't the "averaging off" button on the ICOM allow you to decode CW visually as well as a Yaesu?
While we are here, please don't think I condone the Yaesu 3D spectrum scope. Those that think that puppy is useful might as well go buy an ICOM. Yaesu 2D spectrum scope rocks if you prefer functionality over looks.
Just sayin
