I don’t believe M2 allows a mult transmitter (like M/S) ....and you cannot
move "freely" , I believe you are limited to 8 band changes per hour....

Well,
We don´t have so many radios...Only 3 radios...2 RUN and 1 MULT.
I think the MULT station can MOVE FREELY from band to band without any
10minutes limit..It that OK?...Maybe I am wrong. If so, please, let me know.
I am building a hardware with some relays to avoid 2 TX signals in the same
band in the case the MULT try work some mults in the same band one of the
RUN stations are working.
I hope N1MM or Wintest identify this very clear in the log.
Thanks for your help.
Doug, CO8DM

I did an M2 at NQ4I a couple of years ago. We had two radios per band, and
a total of six radios. Two radios per band interlocked - only one could
transmit at a time (hardware interlock). One run radio, one mult radio.
When we did a band change - say "radio 1" was going from 10 to 20 meters.
We would stop TX on 10 meters, designate 20 meters as "radio 1", and away
we went with a different pair of radios. That was one band change.
With M2, you are assisted - allowed to look at the cluster. We could line
up 20 meter mults, ready to go when TX moved to 20. Once we worked a
bunch
of mults of 20, we could then move back to 10 meters (ie radio 1), and
this
counted as band change # 2 for radio 1.
This activity was independent of what "radio 2" was doing.
The TX must be identified in the Cabrillo log file - radio 1 or radio 2.
Logging software takes care of this.
Does this help?

I would like some clarification on the Multi 2 transmitter rule.
From the CQ WW Rules Website:
*2. Two Transmitters (MULTI-TWO):* A maximum of two transmitted signals
on
two different bands may be used at any time.
The log must indicate which transmitter made each QSO.
Each transmitter may make a maximum of 8 band changes in any clock hour
(00 through 59 minutes).
Total output power must not exceed *1500 watts* on any band at any time.
Line one says Two transmitters. Does this really mean just two
transmitters per the contest period? Rig 1 and Rig 2 and you can have as
many receivers as you want and operators but all contacts need to be made
using rig 1 and rig 2?
