I'll run on my second radio about 20% of the time. If one radio is
the S&P and I decide to run on that band, often I'll use the radio
already there. The "run radio" is better (FT-1000D fully filtered vs
FT-990 without narrow CW filter), but it's not that inferior. Also,
I'm pretty much from the K3ZO school of contesting, where I like to
hear a lot and let my brain do the filtering. All antennas are
available to both radios with my switching scheme, so that's not a
limiting factor.
