I had a 756PRO years ago which I sold after I got the K2. The band scope was a nice toy, but I really didn't miss it. It made no difference to my signal at the other end, and it didn't help me copy people better either. As for helping to spot activity on a dead band, well, the K2 has a nice scanning feature that will do that and you don't even have to be in the same room to be alerted by it. I guess the K3 has something similar (perhaps you will even be able to program in the computer birdies so it doesn't stop on them?)
I'm not saying those who want a band scope shouldn't have one, but why does it have to be an integral part of the radio? An external option is a much better idea. I might even buy one myself in a few years time if I have money burning a hole in my pocket after I've filled up the K3 with filters. Better than having a radio with too many empty holes for options you don't want or can't afford, right from the start. -- Julian, G4ILO K2 s/n: 392 K3 s/n: ???
