Read what the rules say. “i.e. Using 2 transmitters that can transmit
*simultaneously*…”
"The use of simulcasting devices which allow a single operator to key and
transmit on *more than one transmitter at a time*, is prohibited.”
This has nothing to do with SO2R. “Traditional” SO2R has one operator operating
two transmitters, but *never* involves both transmitters transmitting at the
same time.
