[Elecraft] Fwd: a real bandscope

[n4lq]

With the Flex Radio, you don't have a choice. You must use the computer or 
you have no radio. Also, as good as the Flex's receiver is, it can't 
transmit CW worth a hoot and probably never will. It's got a clunky, slow 
and loud relay that will never be capable of satisfying us QSK types. For 
SSB, it is fine.

I would like to see a bandscope adapter with an IF input and VGA output for 
use with a PC monitor. Things get complicated however when you want point 
and click tuning as on the Flex. I guess the adapter needs a mouse port!
I guess the bottom line is: How much would one be willing to pay for this? 
Personally I would pay quiet a bit for a bolt on bandscope. Something as 
good as the Flex bandscope intregated into the K3 would make ICOM look 
second rate.
