HI John,
If you like to split the audio out into each earcup of your headset then 
Yaesu wins hands down.  Icom's Dual Watch is kinda OK for loud signals, but 
the Yaesu is more versatile.  However the 756 Pro III or II makes up for it 
with the bandscope and is better on RTTY.

No clear winner.  I have both and the Yaesu has ( I don't want to think 
about it) a ton of Inrads in it including the roofing filter.

For pure DXing it is hard to beat Yaesu's dual receiver.

Are most club members using a dual receive type radio for DXing, like the 
FT1000 or Icom 781/775/756 series?  Or do most just make do with a single 
receive rig?  I have had both and am really missing the dual receive right 
now in the 3Y0X pileups.

73s John NE0P/5
