[DX] Dual Receive Radio Recommendations

Tue, 23 Mar 2004 12:55:47 -0500

Per the literature I don't think the IC-756 Pro is true dual-receive.  =
You
get a blend of both receivers in your headphones and I don't think you =
can
adjust the balance.  This is what I was told.  I'm sure the Icom guys =
will
correct me if I am wrong.  Michael, WY6K, what is your experience with =
dual
receive on the Icom?  Do you like it?  Do you use it?

That is one of the reasons why I went with the Yaesu FT-1000MP Mark V =
Field.
It is also cheaper.  With the MP I listen to the Dx in my left ear and =
the
pile-up in my right and I have separate volume controls for each.  This =
is a
real fun way to monitor the pileup and place your calls and figure out =
which
way the DX is going.
