Agreed Jim,  Only the top line of the waterfall changes, all the rest is history that could easily be replicated at the control site. In that scheme, one would just send the output of the FFT and do all the display at the control site.  However, whatever is involved, I would also like to be able to push the buttons and turn the knob.  The max BW required at the 1st IF to just bring it down and feed my P3 is 200 KHz, and I never use more than 50 KHz spans, usually 20 KHz on CW.  With RemoteRig, my K3 looks, feels, and sounds like it is actually making the RF.  Would be nice to include the P3 in that.

Interesting ensemble of engineering tradeoffs, no?

Doing a screen grab is certainly possible a variety of ways. But it would seem to me that doing the FFT of a realistic size and update rate and just streaming the data to the control location would likely be more efficient. Most of the SVGA display is blank at any point in time and a waste of bandwidth. Doing an A/D converter and feeding an FPGA for the FFT must have been done before by the HPSDR guys. https://openhpsdr.org/ The control point can then display the data, average it as desired, provide a waterfall of it, etc.
