If you were comparing an ICOM IC-7300 transceiver to a IC-R8600 wide-band receiver for use as a HF/MW/LW receiver only, which one would you chose and why. (Ignoring the transmitter option on the IC-7300 and the wide-band receive option on the IC-R8600). They almost appear to be built on the same chassis (and possibly a portion of the same 'receive' circuitry)?
I fully expect for prcguy to chime in here as he owns both and has performed a lot of advanced testing on both of them. Anyone else? Formal or informal opinions welcome!
