[WriteLog] SO2R with one LPT port

It's quite possible.
What you need to do is use the A/B line on that port to "steer" the CW ( and
PTT for that matter ) to the
desired radio. Works great. I used a Radio Shack DPDT relay to do both and
used a 2n2222 to drive it
from the A/B line. Don't forget the diode "backwards" across the relay or
your first switch will be you last
( for the 2n2222 that is ).
