Hi guys.
It does! You can use Radio 3 to "steal" band changes from both run radios. More
or less 4 QSOs per RUN = 8 QSOs per hour x 48 = 384 extra QSOs and hopefully
mults. Sometimes you can squeeze mor QSOs in a band change if the run is slow.
Anyhow ... you have to PREVENT 3 TX signals at any times. We have seen DQs
because of 3 signals on air.
