If you are not controlling both with a computer, then try to just tune the higher of the two frequencies, which is the uplink on VO-52. Only tune the receive when you have to in order to copy the other station.

I have made 2 contacts now both were VO-52. Both times on SSB and very confusing. So say I'm working you. I found a clear freq by sending alot dots. The uplink tx is switched to LSB. Do I leave the tuning dial on the uplink rig and just use the tuning dial on the downlink to do my tuning? Or do I juggle both rigs tuning dial and get confused?
