I was just fooling around with the new version of DX4WIN and trying to set
it up for SO2R.  I have a Kenwood TS-2000 and an Elecraft K2.  My SO2R box
is a Top Ten Devices DX Doubler.  Up until now while using DX4WIN I would
just go to preferences and change the radio port and the radio type to the
correct values for the radio I wanted to use.  This worked fine but was a
little cumbersome.  After trying a few things I find that with V6.01 I can
do the same thing (just set up one radio in preferences) and it seems to
work the same way.  The freq and mode show up OK.  When I set up two radios
in preferences and if I leave the DX Doubler in manual mode the freq and
mode are read correctly and change to the other radio's values when I hit
SHIFT-CTRL-F12 (the new V6.01 command to switch to the other radio). I must
manually switch the DX Doubler to get to Mike , earphones, etc. to the
correct radio (because it's in manual mode). All works well in this mode.
When I put the DX Doubler into AUTO mode I have a problem.  The
SHIFT-CTRL-F12 command switches the DX Doubler to the other radio and the
mode/freq displayed follows the radio change correctly but both radios are
put into transmit mode with a sidetone as if the CW line is set on for both
at the same time.  No matter what I do this does not change. The CW keyer
interface in preferences is set to LPT1 and the radio 1/2 signal is set to
LPT1.  I've shut each off one at a time with no luck.  I've tried different
setting for DTR and RTS in preferences with no luck. HELP
