Hi Don,<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>I use the
DxDoubler from Top Ten Solutions. It is meant to switch audio in/out
between two radios. Allows automated(computer driven) or manual
switching. For computer driven, requires a parallel cable from computer.
For MY use, I run my heil mic to the soundcard input, then the output to
the DXD. With a single keystroke, I can send either live voice or wav
files ("cq contest...") to either radio. Can also send live or
comp generated code to either. On RX, can have radio "with
focus" in both ears, or again with 1 button push, have one radio in
each ear, great for SO2R work, but a little hard to get used to. Several
advanced features are available, such as both ears on
"alternate" radio while you are sending on "primary",
and allowing you to type data into entry window of "alternate"
radio, again while sending on primary. Merges seamlessly with logging
software, "TR", "NA", and "N1MM". Feel
pretty sure Writelog will run it, too.<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>Some of
the guys are using the MK2R box with much success. It is a really good
option, has built in sound cards, only needs a usb cable to comp. But at
almost a grand, and the fact that it wants to be the very center of your
radio universe, I opted for the simpler route.<br><br>

<pre>Quick question, how do you SO2R SSB guys switch your mic between
radios?
I don't want to have to make anything elaborate. If nothing else, I can
always use a hand mic on the second radio. I guess I could
make a manual switch. Probably have the parts, but where to mount it?
Thanks,
Don AA5AU
