[ICOM] New IC-7700 announced at Dayton

[Alex]

I didn't even notice that. I just assume that it had dual watch. Maybe 
I'm wrong, but I thought that Icom never referred to the dual watch as 
dual receive, which is why I didn't think any of it when I read about 
the single receiver. Indeed it's a big omission. Thanks for pointing 
this out.
