I suppose you *could*, but why would you *want* to?

I see a lot of current portable transponder ops running two rigs (most likely 817's). Folks seem to be unencumbered by the lack of tracking and Doppler coordination between the two radios. Dare I say it -- old school?
Despite the tracking and inverting capabilities, is there any reason I couldn't run my 847 in the same "mode", using the two separate VFO dials like two 817's and nothing else? Am I missing something?
Any one, from the various AMSAT portable ops, have a YouTube video showing _in detail_ how you are running two 817's?
Anyone else run your 847 this way?
