I have an SDR-14 and I have been playing around with it as a bandscope
for the k3. It's absolutely fantastic in this role, far more flexible
than the standard bandscope. 
When I finish reorganising the shack to put the K3 'centre stage' (I.e
put the IC-7800 back in its box and sell it!) the SDR14 will be
permanently attached to the K3 by a short length of Double screened
coax.
I am finding the combination of waterfall and scope fantastic, the only
issue is that the SDR-14 is not quite sensitive enough so see stuff that
can (just) be heard on the 6m band.
On HF, no problem the SDR-14 can see all the way down to the band
noise   

The SDR-14 also gives you a couple of extra demodulators and the ability
to record a chunk of spectrum for playing back later.
