Thanks Stu... But it does not say only one transmitter at one time.


Category 4: Single-op, Multi-Rx, All Band, High Power (SINGLE-OP UNLIMITED ALL HIGH)

  *   SO/Multi  Transceiver HP
  *   Add SOAPBOX remark ‘SO/Multi’
  *   Total output power must not exceed 1500 watts

The rules do say this though:


  *   In categories that permit multiple receivers or mutliple transmitters, the use of same-band, dueling CQ’s is specifically prohibited.


Woops!!!
Hold the phone!!

I found this note at the bottom of the category page....

Note for categories 3 & 4, 7 & 8: No limit to transceivers, transmitters and receivers, but only one signal and running station allowed per band.

So I’m good now.
Thanks

Unless you enter as multi multi, you can only have one transmit signal at any time.

So it looks like you can use two radios and have both rigs on the air at the same time in the Makrothen RTTY contest this weekend...



No matter what I select in the SO2R drop-down in the config menu, SO2R, transmit lock out digital, I have I have multi transmitter checked.

But... I always bump the transmitting radio off the air when I try to transmit with the other radio.

Any ideas?

Thanks
This is my first time on this contest with multiple transmitters.
