I say scrap the Omni VII real time band scope project and move on to 
better, more profitable projects.  I don't want a puny, itty bitty, 
scope display anyway... and won't pay $600 for THAT in any case... 
unless it DOES BETTER THAN REAL TIME, and PREDICTS IN ADVANCE where the 
DX is going to be!

I can get a full screen band scope with my FiFi SDR-IQ kit.  Even 
Elecraft produced a full screen display for the P3 - presumably there is 
sufficient demand for it.  If it does not do more the FTdx3000 scope 
does, it will be too little, too late.

So, I vote to Scrap the project (vis-a-vis the Omni VII)  and work on 
the next great TT rig, instead.

Some projects just don't work out, despite good intentions - and I 
forgive AND RELEASE TT from its promise to produce a real time band 
scope for the Omni VII.  It is OK... just did not work out.  Better to 
build the next great TT radio, instead, AND IT SHOULD HAVE A FULL SIZE 
BAND SCOPE DISPLAY, a receiver as good as the Eagle-RS-366, and a super 
clean 50v, 200 w PA, plus super modern, kick askii looks.  It must NOT 
use the same old look.   Putting the new Argonaut in the same old tired 
case, looking the Model 1254 receiver kit, was a HUGE mistake.  I know 
it is a great rig, inside, but I think the Brand X rigs look da bomb, 
and TT needs to take the lead or at least look like it is keeping up.

Just MY take.
