contest would you do this?

         No, I'm normally running with VFO A = TX, Pod = RIT A
using Main RX.  When running is slow I'll simultaneous S&P
with VFO B = Sub RX.  For purely S&P, I often alternate
both VFO's, leaving one on the LID's who don't identify,
while continuing to tune with the other, basically leap-
frogging up or down the band with both VFO's.

i tried that a few times with n5tw's ft1000d and once with my orion
before tom got his orion.  the best thing about it was that it really
made me appreciate having full SO2R with matching radios -:)
