[ICOM] 7600 and Dual Watch

[Ed K1EP]

I understand the difference between dual watch and dual receive.  If 
I didn't state it clearly before, my point was that the ad in QST 
states that the 7600 has neither capability, which I thought was 
incorrect.  Did Icom just make a mistake and not proof their ad?
