First, becuase I have them, they already tone in them, and you get two receivers in one, and since it is in a low rf enerfy location, why not. As well the receiver's will all be the same. By the time I find 4 receivers that match, get 4 xtals, then tone boards, the money would be the same, then only for a year later to find I have a channel issue, then to buy another xtal, just change the vfo and I'm done. I agree, you way sounds better, but these are here, and at $200.00 a piece, for two receiver's in one box, works out ok for me.

Yeah, like why are you trying to tie up a $400+ radio on a voter? It'd
be a lot cheaper, plus you'd get better performance, from a used
commercial-type rx.
