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.

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.
