You seem to have the two setup pre-requisites right: each
Entry window must have an "L" and an "R" display, and,
if you're running the RTTY window, it must be setup for
one of the two stereo settings (FSK or AFSK). With those 
two setup items correct, I don't see how WL could confuse 
the L/R channels.

How are you starting up the L/R RTTY windows? You have
to start them one at a time from within WL, once after
setting the focus to each radio.

I suggest going to Tools Soundboard Options, and turn
ON the "Continuously Record" button, and click OK.
Make sure there's a different signal on the L and
R radios, and then turn the recoding back OFF.
Then bring up the WL "AudioReview" program. The file
you just made should already be in the "wave files
recorded" window. So select it and click the Play
button. Do you get the different signals in the
L and R channels?
