Robert,
I haven't figured out how to use the second radio (yet) in the Sprint.
For example, suppose you are CQing on one radio. If your second
radio finds a new station, by the time you're done with the answer
to your CQ, that guy is gone and QSYed. I suppose it's possible,
but the timing has to be perfect. Don, others, have I missed
something here?
