OK by me.

But ... if it is connected to the computer, you could easily write software to allow you to interactively tune the rig with a mouse or keyboard action, and I suspect it would be more difficult to do that with a rig-monitor-only solution.

I would kidnap N4PY and coerce him into writing a neato interactive control application for it. Like in his existing program. You click on a signal peak on the graphic screen, and, VOILA, the radio tunes to that frequency /signal... and,... optimally, tunes and makes the call using a bank of recorded contact voice keyer sound files, and then logs the contact in your favorite log book, and emits a sound cue indicating it is ready to make another contact. (OK... perhaps I have gone too far in my imagination...) ;-) ;-)

So... would your solution be interactive... or do we not need that?
Interesting stuff.
