How to Buy a DX Radio

The Yasu FT 1000 D or MP is a wonderful DX radio. If you're going to seriously invest, let's say a thousand or $2,000 and you have the space, put half the budget into an antenna if you can. This sounds like a great time to get an update from ICOM. But what do you know about the ICOM ID52A? It is a VHF, UHF, dual bander with D-Star and FM dual mode functions.
