[Elecraft] SDR UI

[FISCHER,GREG]

Personally I like the idea of using an LCD screen for the 
display.  It would cut down on production costs and the 
display would be nice and large.  Or at least, to have the 
option to direct the display to an external monitor.
Once done, the Elecraft panadapter should have some VERY 
COOL features that are just not found in other displays.
