The Acom 2000a needs a brief dit to adjust itself. This is a fantastic
amplifier and it adjusts very quickly however I would not operate SO2R
alternating CQs between two radios with just a single 2000a.

Can auto tune amps tune fast enough between band A and B? My experience with
Acom 2000 is that while auto tuning is fast, it is not fast enough to be
alternating CQ on two different bands.
On the other hand, solid state amps use banks of low pass filters on the
output, allowing them to switch bands as rapidly as the relays can switch; I
can imagine running on two bands with this arrangement.
