Hello Sam,

There are many theorys about this theme and this is my one: Yes, I am
scanning all four with one! At first: I think the YUPITERU MVT - 7100 can
handle this without any problem. The only thing that can happen is that when
there are four messages on the same time on different channels three of the
four will be missed of course but..... There is a big change (99,99 % I
think) that a/c are long enough in my area of reception that from all a/c at
least one mesage of all will be logged and that is enough for me. So, I have
not ALL the mesages from an a/c but at least one of all I think. Doing so I
have round 2000 different flights a day; collegues who I know and scanning
one channel have less then 1000..........And finaly this: if I should switch
off 136.925 I will miss (almost) all SAS, NorthWest, Delta, Continental....
If I should switch off 131.525 I will miss verry much KLM, BA, Lufthansa,
AirFrance.....If I should switch off 131.725 I will miss all JAL and ANA
(all for exemple).

I hope I have made you clear why I am scanning all four with one! If not,
you are verry welcome for further asking.

Kind Regards, Hans
