Ok got it. 

I was just reading some more and noticed the first rig to have dual VFOs was the Paragon II, but I cant find a manual on that one in
order to confirm. Strange I found one on the Paragon I with no problem.

The ORION would be a choice, but looks like I would need an ORION I(classic) because I just simply can not afford the II yet.

The OMNI VI+ is another choice, but no dual receive on it, unless there is an external VFO available of course. 

I really like the look of the OMNI VI+ and the Paragon II.

>From what I have read about all the other TenTec Models during my searching today, if you have the external VFO's you can receive on
two different frequencies at the same time on the same band. 

Just like the FT-920 or *any* of the ICOMS. So the only difference about the dual receive is the additional piece of gear in the
shack called an external VFO (which it is kinda nifty looking anyway). 

But if it is computer controlled I cant see where it would make any difference at all to the operation, with computer control dual
rx is dual rx.
