Icom 703 for receiver
 

Well....Dunno.....Depends on the quality of the "dedicated"
receiver...I assume the receiver in the 703 is much the same
as my 706 as far as HF/VHF....Compared to many portables,
it's much better...Compared to many high end radios, it's not
as good. It's quite usable I'm sure...MK
