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.

Subject: [Elecraft] Fwd: a real bandscope
I alteady sent this, but do not see the postion... so here it is again.
I vote for a stand alone bandscope. I am tied to a computer 8 hours a
day and don't want to be tied to one in my hobby. The IC-756PRO III
stays until the K3 has one.
If we have to have a computer, might as well have a Flex Radio.
