[TenTec] New Radios in the Future

[Rick - DJ0IP / NJ0IP]

" The mega benefit of the panadapter is in the future, once some genius
creates a bandmap overlay so all the spotted callsigns appear adjacent to
their waveform and you can instantly see the unspotted dx. "

Here we agree, Barry.

When I read you other lines, I'm curious to whether you are running assisted
or unassisted.
If you had a BandMap open, you would already be seeing who's on which
frequencies.
Of course if you are running unassisted, you're not allowed to do that.

Obviously I run assisted.

With just a bandmap, under certain band condx, what you see on your
Panadapter as a "clear frequency" may very well be the run frequency of a
juicy DX station, such as Spratley or Ascension Island, etc.  With a
bandmap, you would see that who else is on this frequency and know to stay
way clear of that frequency.
