[RTTY] single op, 1 radio, 2 recvrs

[Kostas SV1DPI]

Suppose you are an operator and you have an ant an a radio. And you make a 
sxore x.
If you have an amplifier you will do a better score probably multiple x 
without improving your operating skill.
Suppose you are the same operator and you have one radio and you make a 
score x.
if you have 2 radios i don't think you will make a better score without 
improving your operating skill.
I think this is the difference between hardware in general and so2r.
