It might work out for you but it's a pain in the posterior to the guy who 
has a run going and gets his rhythm interrupted because he has to wait on an 
SO2R guy that hasn't yet mastered handling both rigs.  When I acknowledge 
your call and you don't come back right away in my run, you're written off 
and I'm CQing again.  When you get around to logging your other Q and call 
me again, you move to the bottom of the list for a response from me.

Everyone has to have a transition period in mastering handling two radios 
simultaneously, and my hat goes off to those who do it very well because 
there is an art to it.  Good luck with your endeavor in doing so as well!
