I personally would love a simple bandscope, with maybe a mouse
or some way to click on a signal to set the k3 to move the vfo
there, but just a band scope would be enough, without using
a hash generating, space hogging, expensive PC.
A decent laptop and a ferrite ring or two and you will not have any RF
problems, especially with well-engineered Elecraft hardware.
I also await a bandscope with its own display and a computer interface so
that I can click on a signal using the computer. An advantage of a computer
is automatic signal detection, for example 6m is quiet most of the day, the
computer can wake you up when it hears a beacon.
I prefer to work 15m, 10m and 6m. Using a software monitor I ended up
working Z21FO (Zimbabwe) on 15m PSK31. I would never have seen his signal
otherwise as I was concentrating on writing some dodgy software :-) Zimbabwe
may not be all that rare, but for me on 15m and PSK31 it's not that common.
