I have now made a substantial effort to change the U-boat icon in the alpha channel for the file dialsfdb.tga, which SSB recommended above.
Although I have had no difficulty in locating the U-boat icon, nor in changing it, it seems that my only painting tool (Paint Shop Pro v7) is inadequate for the job of changing only the alpha channel in a file that comprises dials on a black background and two white-painted U-boats on a white background. In whatever way I try to save the file, either the changed U-boat icon is represented wrongly, or the other dials come out wrongly.
I have been following exact instructions for Paint Shop Pro v6 for this task, which I found on the internet, but the instructions are incorrect for version 7, and the example provided is less complex than dialsfdb.tga.
However, I have discovered that a simple elongated octagon will serve as a good substitute for the U-boat icon used by the Noise Meter, thus:

Is there anyone who could make this change for me, using better tools than I possess?
Many thanks,
