Eric,

OK.  Thanks.  Sorry Tim if I missed that from you.

I can now run VAC on 70cm/RX1 and listen to 6m on RX2 by setting RX1 antenna to 
N/C.  The only problem now is that I need to turn the volume way down on 
70cm/rx1 to listen to 6m/rx2 (alas, with no waterfall).  When I do that with 
the vertical "audio 
gain for RX1 main receiver" control, the VAC output goes to zero.  With 
Spectran, I can, however, turn that slider to zero and then click it up a few 
ticks and get enough signal thru VAC.

Is it in the "plan" to be able to run dual VAC eventually?

Richard
