Hi Steve,
I think it's entirely a preference thing. I like two keyboards because at
4am it becomes a spatial thing: left ear, left keyboard. No worrying about
hitting the ~ or the \ key. Some of us first learned so2r with two
computers, so that's a factor. Other guys like this as well -- N6MJ comes
to mind, and there are videos of him using this setup on YouTube.
N1MM+ will handle one or two keyboards. So you can configure things based
on the operator's preference before the contest. Play around with it in a
minor contest; you might love it, you might hate it.

Hey all:
One of the things we plan to do @ KL7RA in the near future is set up a
dedicated SO2R position. I was about to order computer, monitors etc. for
that position when I remembered (I think it was Andy N2NT) discussing the
advantages of dual keyboard vs. Single Keyboard SO2R at Contest U a couple
of years back. Question for the folks on this list who do that, how have
you set things up hardware-wise, ergonomics, (our plan was to standardize
the layout of all operating positions, but perhaps we might want different
dimensions for this) etc. N1MM+ and WinTest both support it, so I imagine
that part is easy, and we'll be using a MK2R+ as a SO2R
controller/interface.
Thanks/73
