I have heard about Amateur HF band radios that have a Display screen on them. I haven't read about any of them (yet), but from what I've gathered the Display sounds like what used to be called a Panoramic Adapter (PanAdapter) that shows where radio stations are transmitting on either side of the frequency that a receiver is tuned to. Several years back I thought it would be nice to have a PanAdapter built-in a HF Transceiver and it sounds like my idea has happened. I know I can't afford to buy one (if I wanted to) after seeing a video a couple of years ago about a new Ham HF rig with all the bells and whistles that would be introduced at the Dayton, Ohio HamVention. When the two hams mentioned the price of that rig it made my jaw drop! IIRC the price mentioned was Two Kilo-Bucks, and for a Ham that got started out with a $60 USD Hallicrafter S-38e and a $65 USD Heath-Kit DX-40 when I heard the price mentioned I said "No Way Jose!!!!". Maybe in six more years one of those rigs might find its way on the Used Amateur Radio List at a price that I could consider bugging my wife about. The best ever Ham XMTR I have used was at U.S. Navy Amateur Radio Station, K6NCJ at NAS Alameda, California USA, where I used a Central Electronics 100-V and 600-L (I used it on AM too!). Does anyone know how stable these Conputer Controlled Ham Rigs are? TIA ... Where do mice that are proverbially poor live?
