Hi The only normal use for even second outputs is in a CDMA base station. The same is true of the multitude of 9.x MHz outputs coming out of the back of that unit. From what I have seen of LH, there's no real need to play with anything else on these units. The only thing you might do is to scan for unknown / undocumented commands with a chunk of custom code.
