[ICOM] 7600 and Dual Watch... "it's a mix"

[J. Gordon Beattie, Jr., W2TTT]

Phil et al,
Performance issues aside, the Dual Watch feature is a snap to use and I find
it quite comfortable to access.  Sure I would like to have a full-blown
second receiver, but for the cost vs. functionality, it is great to have.  

Thanks & 73,

    It is amazing that Icom sticks with the Dual Watch on the PROIII etc 
which is funky to use compared to doing split with a MP etc and both 
rigs being upper end. If you use Dual Watch a lot you sort of get used 
to it, but the MP is a lot easier to use split if you don't do it every day!
