Had privilege of using a beta version of 6.72 in CQWW CW from P40Q operating
SO1.5R (no amp on 2nd radio). . . the ExchangeRadios feature was extremely
useful in a number of situations (right up to the point I went SO1R due to
some cockpit problems). In general, whenever you're doing SO2R with unequal
setups it will be handy. Automating bandswitching is well worth the effort.
