For example, channel 5 is linked with channel 6, then both channel 5 and 6 can be grouped to DCA. But if channel 5 has been grouped to DCA first, it can not link to channel 6, but channel 6 can link to channel 5. ˙Link & Routing: The two linked channels can route as stereo channel, while routed channels can also link later.
