im 95% sure im going to buy a 7610 ... however, i often ponder whether i actually NEED the features like the second receiver for 'monitoring'. Maybe it's b/c Im accustomed to not having true second receiver but my practice is to watch the DX spotting networks and switch when one I need pops up. HRD lets me just click on the spot and it switches my band, freq, and mode for me (im lazy). Im not seeing myself using the 2nd receiver much, tbh. . . geesh, i'm almost convincing myself to not buy the 7610...

Well it looks like you can monitor 2 different bands and modes at the same time ! I like that idea . I will most likely have one but I will wait a year as my 7600 still works fine.

If your a Crazy DXer like me you can monitor one band and talk an another so if you see DX pop up on 40m while your talking on 20m you can go right to it and back and forth with the waterfall it is all what you like to do when your working them 73's

To me that seems rude and very disrespectful to the person you are talking with in the first QSO, kinda like pooping and talking on the cell phone at the same time......

Well they are at least trying to address that plaguing issue of ovf with an anti ovf knob. Good luck. I agree it appears to have the receive performance of two 7300s. $2700.00 seems to be a better price point.
