Joe,
I find the spectrum scope to be very useful in the an SO2R situation. For
example, at home I use a K3 as my normal run radio and a 756 Pro2 as a
second radio. The K3 is a much better run radio mostly because of its much
superior receiver performance. OTOH, the spectrum scope on the Pro2 is very
helpful in trying to find band openings, locating activity on a quiet band,
looking for bare spots on a crowded band, etc. The visual display is a more
efficient way to get this information than by turning the knob and relying
on your ears. I'm looking forward to trying LP-Pan in the future to add
that facility to the K3.

I agree with the OP as far as the K3 goes and have no experience of the
Icom 7800, but I have yet to get a concrete example of the things a
"spectrum scope" can do. Does anyone know what is it about it that you
*can't* do with the K3 as presently outfitted? I know about LP-Pan and
all, so my sincere question is: _why_ is it so important? I throw this
question out to the group!

I find it to perform as well or better than my IC-7800 in many areas. If
I had to choose between getting two fully loaded K3s or a 7800, hands
down, Elecraft wins. There are however a couple of things I like better
about the IC-7800:
1. The spectrum scope and display
