Mike,

There's a link to a short youtube video in the 3830 writeup for WW1X that
shows how the lockouts worked ( https://youtu.be/Os7s-Y_gngY ).  As one of
the two 40m ops, the lockouts worked just as well as the hardware lockouts
in an in-person M/M.  There was a learning curve to not interrupting the
run station too severely with S&P QSOs, as it was very different from
seeing a visual cue from the person sitting next to you.  By day 2, we
seemed to be in better sync.

To the best of my knowledge, there were never 2 run stations on the same
band.  I believe there were a few instances with more than one S&P station
on a band, but not on 40.
