Sure you can.

I don't know the exact time the 9500 needs to change bands and retune,
but it's about the blink of an eye. Of course that is hard on the
moving parts and I wouldn't like to operate one that way, but it could
be done.

##  That would be extremely  hard on parts, esp a motor driven multi wafer bandswitch, if
joe contester spent the entire weekend running SO2R. 

The sub rx on my FT-1000 D is muted when on TX, ditto with the
sub rx on my mk-V.  The sub rx on the mk-v has to be on the same band
as the main vfo. 

##  That flex 6700 xcvr   + power genius is the eq of multiple xcvrs and amps,
plus it has 6m.  As long as the band switching relays  for the diplexers held up,
it should be ok.
