Give the guy a break.
I use multi com boxes, not for 121.5 but when I need to monitor or talk to more than one station. There are lots of times its a benifit, such as working with London Info and getting near Headcorn, I like to listen in, to see if they are throwing sky lemming out of planes or crossing Lutons zone and need to call Panshanger before I am in their zone but also need to listen to Luton as I am still in their zone, even after sign off..
As long as you can cope with two boxes, it can only be a benifit.
Good luck
