Hi All:

MK2R+ at home, YCCC SO2R box at KL7RA.

Personally, I prefer the Microham device.  More complex to set up, but, to
me, having the built in sound card makes it worth it.  It's not cheap.

The YCCC box is quite simple and has great support.

Out of curiosity what controllers/interfaces do the guys use to achieve the
2 Computer SO2R formats ?

I have a Mk2+ and a DXD - they both have uses and both are good at the job. 

The DXD gets used for portable operation mainly.

Ditto here. My DX Doubler is just the right thing for me.
