Mark is pretty spot on. He is of course using a hardware interlock as Danny
does not play outside of the rules. As for the headphone switching, I have
setup two Dunestar audio switching boxes so that when SO2R you can choose
L/R/Both or Mixed. When Multi-Single each op can hear their own audio or
both radios or a mix of both. Danny chooses to listen to both sides of the
audio evenly most of the time. I go nuts at my skill level doing this, but
he isn't the average guy.
The audio was being re-broadcast through a wireless radio transmitter to a
mono-speaker setup below my tablet that I was playing with. It was a real
Kodak moment that I thought others would get a kick out of, hence no real
elaborate video or stereo audio.
73,
