Thanks, Don. I feared that might be the case – that once the amp and tuner are mated in the EC-2, using that tuner by itself for a different amp would require severing it from its mate. Then, to return to the “twins” configuration for the other K2, means doing all of that in reverse. A

Hank, I am not clear what you are trying to accomplish. First, CW+SSB is only applicable for transmit, and you cannot transmit with the subRX. Yes, you can swap the frequencies, but transmit is still only on the main RF board whether in SPLIT or not. 73, Don W3FPR On 7/26/2016 3:35 PM,
