My  question would then be, how do you employ the band display in a hunt
and  pounce operation, particularly under crowded band condx? I just
don't see  it working.




The sweep is practically useless for a contest application. I turned mine  
off for the past 3 contests (as long as I have had the O2), ARRL DX CW, CQWW 160 
 SSB and ARRL DX Phone, as it was just visual commotion that was unecessary 
for  me. Not nearly as useful as other radio "sweeps" that allow marking 
pileups  and/or going to them or empty freqs.
