Suppose you are an operator and you have an ant an a radio. And you make a
sxore x.
If you have an amplifier you will do a better score probably multiple x
without improving your operating skill.
Suppose you are the same operator and you have one radio and you make a
score x.
if you have 2 radios i don't think you will make a better score without
improving your operating skill.
I think this is the difference between hardware in general and so2r.
