I don't see why not, if it's on vox or you hit the PTT, if something happens 
and you need to stop the transmition fast you can still do it if you're 
patching someone else in through your station. then the whole topic of 
repeaters comes up where you can't unless you can over power the other 
station and shut it off if someone's doing something wrong, not many have 
that option, a second receiver on another frequency is a much better option 
but I only know of one or 2 around here doing that.
