When running SO2V unassisted, I find it easiest to do the opposite:  CQ on
VFO A, and S&P on VFO B.  Then you can have the RIT on A and watch the VFO
B cursor track VFO B.  Of course if you get too far away from your run
frequency, you'll have to increase the P3 span so that you can still the
VFO B cursor, but this is the best way around this problem for now, without
resorting to extra hardware.

Of course assisted operators can just send a spot to VFO B to have a listen.
