POSTED by a guy going as TiP: Quote:
Here's an idea that's been kicking around in my head for a while: It's no big secret that one of the most attractive features (at least to me) of the big all-band all-mode radios is a bandscope... But what if I don't want to spend the big money to get a big radio, when all I really want is the bandscope? I'm already salivating over the prospect of seeing the activity on all 40 channels simultaneously 
Obviously, to have this capability would be a wondrous thing, but I ask you, is it even possible to build a homebrew bandscope for CB?

Yeah, I sure wish DTB Radio would make another appearance, I could also use his (their?) help on the receive armoring mod too. (Exactly what type of diode is a "common switching diode"? 1N4001? Or ... ??)
A spectrum analyser sounds like it'd work, but that's, y'know, $800 or so; kind of defeats the whole purpose of homebrewing, since if I were lookin' to drop that kind of cash, I'd just buy a big radio that comes with the bandscope.
