[Elecraft] What's a panadapter?

[Craig Rairdin]

A quick search of the US trademark database (www.uspto.gov) says it's
available. It's mentioned as a type of equipment sold by Squires-Sanders in
a 1963 filing for their logo, but it's not named as a trademark by anyone I
could find.

"Bandscope" is similarly unclaimed.

IANAL, but both would probably be dismissed for being generic at this point.

IIRC, Panadapter is (or was) a trademarked name.  Certainly it's come
pretty close to being generic, but I suspect that why the display in
current radios is called a "bandscope".
