But is it possible to lock the receivers in the FT-1000 without having to constantly hold the tracking button?  When I owned the
FT-1000MP, I don't believe continuous frequency tracking of both receivers was possible and it was a real pain.

I now use the Ten-Tec RX-340 commercial-grade DSP receiver with the Pegasus as the sub-receiver and continuous diversity tracking is
a feature of the N4PY software.
