W0YK's comment about missing the Pro3 bandscope
reminded me of this. I hope someone (K8ZOA, HB9DRV,
N4PY or ?) will look into integrating SDR software (Rocky,
PowerSDR, etc) with the K3 and Softrock hardware on the
K3's 8.215 MHz IF output. What I would love to see is:
1. A bandscope display (good sensitivity and resolution).
2. The ability to place a cursor on a signal of interest.
3. Clicking the cursor moves the K3 VFO to that frequency.
4. Perhaps add a waterfall display for weak signal work.
I personally think that going the SDR route is overkill - and requires a ton
of code. But - having had a bandscope on my IC-7800 (now sold) I would
dearly like a bandscope. I do hope that Wayne and Eric and their friends
will investigate and design this once the dust settles later this year.
I honestly don't want to get inside the SDR code - I just don't have the
time. At one stage I was planning to do this but I'm having to spend
significant time on my commercial activities.
An Elecraft or Elecraft-approved bandscope with a serial or USB interface
would be my preference so that I can integrate it with my software.
I like the projects on http://www.cliftonlaboratories.com/ .
