"Receiver" is probably just a bad choice of words on my part.  The 781 had a
dedicated module that did nothing but sweep, with a signal pick-off early in
the IF chain, so a receiver in the loose sense that a spectrum analyser is a
receiver.  The 7800 has one of it's DSP's dedicated to the sweep function,
for example. 

The O-II sweep is fine.  It does stop updating while tuning, however.  And
perhaps an add-on sweep option could add some incremental features, such as
finer resolution with narrower sweep ranges, a peak hold function, carrier
point or filter mid-point frequency option, sweep speed options, etc.  These
kinds of extras don't seem that cricital, but I'm sure some would find these
things useful.
