[Elecraft] K3 - first impressions

[jmalloy]

I agree with the OP as far as the K3 goes and have no experience of the 
Icom 7800, but I have yet to get a concrete example of the things a 
"spectrum scope" can do.  Does anyone know what is it about it that you 
*can't* do with the K3 as presently outfitted?  I know  about LP-Pan and 
all, so my sincere question is: _why_ is it so important?  I throw this 
question out to the group!
