A quick search of the US trademark database (www.uspto.gov) says it's available. It's mentioned as a type of equipment sold by Squires-Sanders in a 1963 filing for their logo, but it's not named as a trademark by anyone I could find.
"Bandscope" is similarly unclaimed. IANAL, but both would probably be dismissed for being generic at this point.

IIRC, Panadapter is (or was) a trademarked name. Certainly it's come pretty close to being generic, but I suspect that why the display in current radios is called a "bandscope". 73, doug _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
