Hi Lyle

Yes I know what you mean.... Since building my STAR I've become a lover of
DSP radio's....
However for the last few months I've been playing about with a HB version of
the SDR-1000 and have grown to love
The panadaptor display, not sure if I could really enjoy running a radio
without this facility now!

If the Sasquatch display could mimic this functionality it would be
fantastic, a few additional hardware knobs & buttons
Is also the way forward. Really looking forward to Sasquatch developments.

Yep I agree, I have a Griffin USB knob, very rarely get used!

Don't suffer this syndrome in the shack..... I've a Hugh multi fuel stove,
when fired up I need to keep the door open..
Even in the depths of winter!!!! Big disadvantage though... It takes about
an hour to get the beast alight and burning properly!
