b) what's a spectrum scope?

for example, Adam Farson, well known analyst who
does testing like Rob Sherwood does:

Thus, I figure calling it a "spectrum scope" is
in line with Yaesu and many others.
N'est ce pas ? ;-) ;-)
Sidebar anecdote:
Barry, your question is analogous to the time a
cantankerous Judge once asked me why I used the
words "Spousal Support" instead of the "age old,
and time honored, word 'alimony'"... and I replied
the Official State Court Rules require a provision
for "Spousal Support" and make no mention of "alimony"
anywhere.
Similarly, I used spectrum scope because, it is so
frequently used in the industry, whereas the locution,
"spectrum sweep" has substantially more limited use.
