There are quite a few things that are ATL things, which is why I only go through there every 9 months...and that's because I have to.
What I was saying is on the 737, only the left tuning unit is used for ATC and the right for guard/making PAs on guard/ops/ramp. You've got the capability for doing it from whatever side you're sitting without reaching across (man touch!), but they wanted you to reach.
