It may not be too hard, if you consider that only the current sample is really needed, if the PC builds its own waterfall display from previous samples. If it is real-time, it would be interesting to see how they manage the bandwidth requirements. The P3 uses a serial interface, and that is likely the basic limitation. P3Utililty will download a spectrum grab from my Elecraft K3/P3, but it is freeze-frame. Wonder if the IC-7300 spectrum display on Win4IcomSuite is real time. If Win4IcomSuite can really do all that it says it can do, I think I’m going to pop for it when my new computer shows up and I get it all set up. I don’t think that my laptop has enough computing power to really do Win4IcomSuite justice, but I have a new tower computer on the way. This page lists a lot of software, including the WCS-7300 and Win4IcomSuite, that can either be used to control the IC-7300 or can be used to do digital modes with the IC-7300. Unfortunately, while this shows up in a Google search, the website seems to be down. I’ve emailed VA2FSQ to get a clarification. An intriguing feature is that it says it “supports the built-in ICOM spectrum scopes.” I didn’t think that this was possible with the IC-7300, but I could be wrong (see image above). This program costs $50, but is a more comprehensive package than WCS-7300. This looks like a nice package-as are all the RT Systems software packages-but costs $35. WCS-7300 Radio Programming Software from RT Systems ().
