Dave’s input is fundamental to do what you want. But, you may want to submit a help desk ticket to make sure the behavior you see is what is capable or there is a configuration issue. There is automatic antenna switching when you try to use more antennas than the SCUs will support. XVTR for 2 meters may play a part. Help desk ticket support will be faster and more specific to understand what can be accomplished. Multi link does require defining station at each client and local for example or the software can’t guess what you want but tries. Causes unpredictable things to happen. Don’t forget to use FRStack at both local and client so both stations see what the other is doing. I run my main PC with a second PC running a different band on my 6600 (two SCUs) it took a while to understand what was happening but made sense. I run 4 RX antennas in the winter and it took me a few days to understand how it was switching RX antennas when I tried to select a different 3 rd antenna. XVTR uses a one of the receiver ports. (A clue for you maybe) XVTR port does appear to behave a little different than the RX ports but I haven’t figured that out completely. I am not familiar with your specific radio so some of my comments may not be appropriate for you. I use multi and antennas. You may need a duplexer. Back to Dave’s fundamental you can have two different TX antennas but only one RX antenna selected at a time or the radio will switch. 73 Bill W9JJB

Make sure that you are TX'ing on the same waveform, AM/USB, also ensure that both users are on LAN PTT in radio settings as well as the PGXL. Try that.

What the op is trying to do can not be done on a 6500 as Dave wo2x said.

Ty

Simply Incorrect. This is FLEX 6000 series w/ SSDR. Try then come back to me.

What Ty is saying is if both ops are using the same band and same mode there isn’t an issue. Looks like the original author was trying to use 20 meters on one station and 40 on another. If they are using the same profile it will cause issues. Also if they are trying to use two different antennas on a 6400 or 6300/6500 it won’t work due to the single SCU. Dave wo2x

thanks Dave, I really need to write longer to make my points. that was my point,,the way the op wants to work  won't work on the 6500.

I am only use one antenna for these tests ... it covers   20 40  & 80M  .

Do you both use the same profile by chance?

Bill / VA3QB

Will have to check for that !!
