[ICOM] Icom IC-756ProIII or TS-950SDX

[Adam Farson]

Hi John,

Occasionally I work split on 20m during my weekly sked with my friend Matt
KK5DR. When the QRM gets too intense at his end, I transmit around 14140 kHz
(eat your heart out!) and listen for Matt on our usual frequency around
14190 kHz. Dual Watch enables me to monitor both sides of the split.

I sometimes operate the same way on 40m (TX 7090, QSX 7180 or thereabouts.)

Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ

I have owned several dual receive radios in the past (Icom
756/756PRO/756PROII/FT1000MP/TS950SDX) and I always found them most useful
for DXing. Never really tried to do SO2R in a contest with them, but they
make busting a split frequency pileup much easier.  You put one receiver on
the DX stations frequency to hear when he comes back to someone, and put the
other receiver on the DXs listening frequency. You can then hear exactly
when it is clear to call, or find a clear spot, or find the station he is
working to be on that frequency for the next round of calls. You can do this
with a regular 2 VFO radio, but it is much easier to do it with dual receive
than having to switch back and forth between VFOs.
