As we have seen with the proliferation of interlocked transmitters used by
some multi-single entrants, the definition of transmitter is not what it
seems. Transmitter has historically meant "transmitted signal". So a M2
entry could have two (or more) interlocked transmitters on a band. As long
as there is never more than one signal on a band at a time, it is considered
OK.
This should probably be reconsidered in an effort to make the multi-op
categories more competitive for more stations. But, it has become a big
area of station improvement over the past 5 years so unlikely to get the
genie back in the bottle.
