Absolutely correct Julian. It is the combo of sound card and software that does it for you, but it does a very credible job of it I might add. I know Elecraft has thoughts of adding a bandscope of some sort, so keep the faith! Your prayers may be answered. I just thought it was kind of interesting how Larry Phipps had incorporated all this together into a very nice little package. The sound card is critical of course, and most laptops don't have one that is sufficient. But I think if you check Larry's website and/or his Yahoo group site you will find some recommendations. Besides, it could be something of a wait for Elecraft to get around to following up on their indicated desire to produce a bandscope. In the meantime, this could be a relatively inexpensive way to accomplish much the same thing.

It appears to me that it would be a second receiver only with the aid of a
PC, sound card and SDR software.

What I would like to see is an external bandscope that does not require a
computer. Either it would be completely self contained, or it would use an
inexpensive portable LCD TV for its display. Perhaps Elecraft will come up
with something like this in the future?
