Bill,
If it was so easy to do everyone would be doing it and mastering it. Sorry
to say that for most it is not that easy to do and if you do not have the
station to put out a big signal on the 2nd radio what use would it be? Not
to mention the need to minimize the interference from the radios etc.
Try leaving your run frequency in a big contest for too long and see what
happens.....The timing on the 2nd radio needs to be spot on or you risk
losing your run freq.
