If they can afford a $10,000 radio I guess it's expected that options will be 
high.

A Lot of us (I believe) think $4200 is a lot of money for a radio.

I guess I just expected with the advertising of a faster CPU that the sweep 
would work real time all the time.........

OII upgrade was color screen, improved filter chain, better  Mic connection  
and faster CPU.  So, while the color screen is great (I love it) we did pay 
quite a lot for the upgrade (color screens are not that expensive anymore, 
especially small ones).

I personally expected the faster CPU to be a bigger deal. Like no more sweep 
issues.

Anyway, that's what I expected, right or wrong.

Considering everything (except being in a different universe) I guess I would 
feel good about it all if the sweep can not be realtime all the time with the 
faster CPU and firmware changes the TT could pass along the HW sweep at cost.
