[TenTec] (no subject)

That's true if one has the space to dedicate another PC and monitor and mouse and whatever else is needed.  Certainly that would be a bit easier to see but I would never run it on the same PC I'm using for logging, rig control, digital decode, cluster etc...that already is busy and using two monitors and plenty of horsepower.

That's where the attraction of a capable built in with external monitor capability or a P3 implementation comes from.....

Not sure why that's hard to understand....
