Just wondering if anyone uses 2 antennas on the same mast for SO2R?

There are stations that go a step further and use the same antenna for SO2R, with a triplexer (or even quadplexer). Of course, with a SteppIR you can't do that.

If you are planning station changes anyway, my suggestion is to replace the 7300. It's a great radio, at a great price, for a SO1R station, but the A/D dynamic range limits it in SO2R applications. The 2nd change I would make is to replace the SteppIR with a modern tribander and triplexer.
