Or you could get an older rig like an IC-746, put a panoramic adapter tap board
from G4HUP in it (easy, solder 3 wires), buy an RTL SDR dongle (< $20),
download HDSDR software (free), download Omni Rig control software (free) and
have a complete second receiver with spectrum and waterfall display on a
full-sized screen, independent tuning or with rig control. It won't have 432,
but it will be +3db versus the 991 on 2m TX.

Yeah, I looked at this at the Huntsville hamfest this past weekend. Very
nice. I just wish there was a way to put that screen on a larger external
monitor. There is a lot of stuff on that small screen.
