I agree. For best results, plan on using a second monitor in full
screen mode. The spectrum display on this is absolutely superb, puts
everything else to shame.
For contesting, there are four features I especially like:
1. It lets you immediately find an open spot on a crowded band. Has
both a spectrum display and waterfall at the same time.
2. Lets you take a quick look at an entire band at once to see if it
is open or has any activity. Think about it - no tuning the knob to
check a band. You see the whole band at once and with the click of
your mouse, you zero in on any activity. .
3. Although it transmits AFSK, you'd never know it. It emulates true
FSK so well you will never know the difference. This allows you to use
both NET and AFC while S&P'ing, getting you exactly on frequency every
time.
4. And this is a big one: No tangle of cables from the computer to
the radio and no RigBlaster, MicroHam or other box! Everything is
done over a single Ethernet cable, the same one your computer uses for
the internet. You will need a router if your computer has only one
Ethernet port and you want to use internet and radio at the same time.
I got mine at WalMart for $39.
Do yourself a big favor and actually see one in operation. You won't
be disappointed.
