Because it is ONE operator. The key element, the centerpiece and the  
weak link in the chain is the operator.

(Just try to write a rule to separate these hypothetical "classes".  
How do you define 2R? If I have a box like a Ten-Tec Orion, is that  
one radio or two? What if I modified so it could receive on one side  
while transmitting? What if like W6AM I build transmitters and  
receivers for each amateur band - am I suddenly SO5R? What I if I  
have one transmitter with instant band change and two receivers?)
