Hi Mike:

I checked and the Amazon page says that is a MONO mixer.  It will mix the two 
stereo channels into a single mono channel.  I need them split, one radio on 
left channel, one on right channel.  I'd prefer having the levels independent 
of the operator's headphone volume and am looking into using the rear panel "AF 
Out" or "Line Out" connectors.

Using a mixer is a good idea though!  Thanks.

Mark
