[Elecraft] For you Anti-Scopes

[Steve Ellington]

My 19" monitor is showing a cw segment of 40 meters in the early afternoon. I see 4 active cw signals. 
Tell me....What would be the odds of finding those signals by tuning across the band with a knob? 

You would miss hearing the signal if:
1. As you tuned across his frequency, he paused and you didn't hear him.
2. As you tuned across his frequency, he turned it over to the other guy who is too weak to hear. 
3. His cw speed is so slow that you tuned across his frequency in between characters.
4. He ended his CQ before you tuned to his frequency.
5. His singnal faded into the noise right when you were tuning through his frequency.
6. You heard a beep as you tuned but now you can't find where he was.
7. He started calling CQ right as you tuned past his frequency.

Once you've had a bandscope, it's hard to live without it.
