I sure understand that, Steve.  Happens to me all the time in Grayland.  If a station is particularly strong, one has the temptation just to sit back and enjoy.  I'm lucky here, in that I have multiple receivers.  Mostly, though, I'm using a 7030+ and an Icom 756Pro2, both with 2 VFOs, so it's like 4 receivers right there.  I use John Bryant's Audio switching network to flip between the 2 receivers.  If there's great audio, I just engage Recall-Pro on my laptop, flip over to the other receiver and continue dxing.  Mostly I scan with the 7030+ since I have all the offset channels in the memory.  Anyhow, the Icom has the best audio to listen to.  I also use 2 copies of Recall-Pro (one fed by an external sound blaster card) so I can "tape" 2 mp3 files at the same time.  Can life get any better? :-)  ...........Walt.
