[TenTec] O2 Sweep

[Duane Calvin]

Hi Ron,
	I'm curious what you find you like about the ICOM 'scope? I was over
at a friend's house and their ProIII had the scope running and it was
sweeping at about a 2 Hz rate - a far cry from the Orion's "real time"
(minus a few mils) scope.  Was I not seeing the normal band scope setting on
their Pro III?  It sure left me completely unimpressed.

	73, Duane

I have never seen any difference in performance of the radio with the scope 
on or off, and like you, I don't find it all that useful.  That may be 
because I have never had a radio with a band scope before.  It would be nice

if TT came out with an accessory scope that looked and functioned as well as

the ICOM's.  I haven't heard any recent word about when such a unit might be

available.
