i think any serious DX'r might be interested in this as well.  while 
fiddling around with the second VFO using dual watch is nice, if i see a 
packet spot on 20m, i can park on "radio" on that freq keeping tabs on 
the pile up while i look around on 17 or 15m. i have to have both VFOs 
on tha same band with dual watch if i want any kind of selectivity or 
sensitivity.

that they didn't try it seems odd.  why else would you buy such a 
radio?  i guess those of us that make civil servant salaries are too 
practical ;)
