[Elecraft] Dual Receive/Two radio/SO2R etc

Thu May 1 18:31:00 2003

Single Op 2 Radio? You can buy ready made SO2R controllers from Array 
Solutions or Top Ten Devices.

Or when you are using TR Log and other logging software (Writelog) you can 
get 2 radio signals out that take care of most of the work if you build your 
own box.

Get a small switch box with a few relays: run your headphone outputs, 
paddle, mic inputs, etc from each radio into the box, split out one radio 
into one ear and the other radio into the other ear, add a manual switch or 
accept 2-radio signal input from the logging software and there you are!
