Regarding the IC-7700, which is a lot more expensive than the 7600, here's what an Icom fan had to say about the missing 2nd receiver. Pay close attention to the first bullet point.
Single HF receiver <http://www.ab4oj.com/icom/ic7700/rx.html> with I/Q second mixer, offering +40dBm 3rd-order intercept point*. - *The single receiver should be seen not as a disadvantage, but as a plus.* The single receiver allows no-compromise RX performance at a reasonable price; BNC sockets on the rear panel, and CI-V, allow easy connection and synchronization of a second Icom transceiver such as the 756Pro3 as a secondary receiver. Many prospective IC-7700 buyers already own an IC-756Pro3. Add <http://www.ab4oj.com/icom/ic7700/2rx.html> the IC-7700 to your existing Pro3 for the perfect contest station; use the IC-7700 as your main transceiver, and the IC-756Pro3 as a spotting receiver. - Upgrade from your IC-765 or IC-775DSP, and get the benefits of a spectrum scope. I love this guy's logic. :) 73, James K2QI On Tue, Nov 16, 2010 at 7:50 PM, Igor Kosvin <[email protected]> wrote: > I don't recall, does the IC7600 has independent second receiver?
