As I read it, the "exception" is for another band, not another transmitter. 
In other words, you may use your one and only transmitter on a second band 
for a new multiplier. Regardless of how I try to stretch the 
interpretation, I can not see where two transmitters are allowed. Is this 
incorrect?
