After a fashion and with my N4PY Pegasus software,
Ten-Tec does make one rig with a sub-receiver. My
software allows perfect integration of a Pegasus (or Jupiter) and an
RX-320 to yield full DUAL receive.
When you add it all up, this combination yields virtually
all the ICOM 756PRO function at one half the cost.
In this mode, the operation of the RX-320 follows VFOB
of the Pegasus perfectly.
I'm a DX'er and use this method all the time in pileups.
