Must be that you need either NO digital readout, or a two color readout. I
recall working a good bit of DX with no digital readouts at all -- Globe
Scout 680 and SX-99, etc. I do recall that after I put the SB-650 digital
readout (all one color) on my SB-102, that I could work absolutely nothing
but stations in New Jersey.
The spectrum scope would actually be a lot more useful if each signal
were color coded -- black: the old ragchew geezer cross town; yellow:
North America; red: DX; flashing red: RARE! DX. That way you'd know
exactly where to tune and could pounce immediately on stations of
interest without all that tuning malarkey.
