What happens when you bring TWO radios to a POTA activation?
Today on Brew & Activate, Eric (N1JUR) and Shannon (KC1OHT) dive into SO2R — Single Operator Two Radios — and what it would actually look like in the field.
Is it efficient?
Is it chaotic?
Is it advanced operator maturity…
or just picnic-table-level overengineering?
We break down:
• What SO2R really means in a POTA context
• Voice + Voice vs Voice + Digital
• Antenna isolation and RF considerations
• Battery and power management
• Logging without creating upload nightmares
• The “semantics” — should you even do this?
If you’ve ever thought:
👉 “Could I run two bands at once?”
👉 “Should I?”
👉 “Would hunters hate me?”
This episode is for you.
