Yes but now add to that on the second radio a SDR/panadapter or a Flex 3000 
display, you will just have to click on the peaks of the spectrum display to 
tune and have the callsign decoded by your ''single channel decoder''. This 
way, within few minutes you are able to fill a full bandmap without 
listening. We are very close to a skimmer functionnality...
