lots of great info about how to use WL in SO2R mode is available
in the help file...searhc for two radio contesting.
SHIFT-up/down will move the keyboard focus, and not change the
TX focus.
You should also look at using the %X parameter in macros. When a
macro is sent, usually via one of the F keys, TX focus is
automatically shift to the radio with the keyboard focus. %X
says don't do that.
So - a scenario might be:
Running on left radio.
S&P on te right radio.
F2 = %X CQ de K6TD
F4 = K6TD
focus is on left radio, press 'F2'.
use VFO right radio to find a mult.
press Shift-down, start typing the call of the
mult you just found.
If the CQ finishes and no answer, and the mult is ready
for you yet, press F2 - TX focus stays on left radio.
If no answer to your CQ, and the mult is ready, press F4.
TX focus go to right radio.
