Joe,

Thanks for the quick response!

Re:  I am looking forward to working with W5XD to further improve the 
integration of MK2R and WriteLog (particularly since the Multi-Keyer 
is no longer in production). 

Let's hope that happens soon, and that it'll be possible to record too, then
I'll be placing an order!

There is no "compatibility" issue with WriteLog and the two sound 
codecs.  There is one minor configuration difficulty in that WriteLog 
expects all audio inputs to be on the same sound card (sound device). 
This means that it is currently impossible to record the contest 
during a SSB contest if you are using the WriteLog digital voice 
keyer but this is no different than the typical laptop or inexpensive 
soundcard with but a single microphone input. 

Otherwise, it appears that MK2R+ works just fine for RTTY with two 
instances of the MMTTY plug-in (for FSK), or with RTTYrite in AFSK
or PSK and there is no problem with SO2R CW.  

Like any other SO2R box (except the discontinued W5XD MultiKeyer), 
WriteLog does not support "split" audio and the WriteLog (stereo 
soundboard) DVK at the same time.  Fortunately, MK2R+ can be 
configured for "split" audio or up to eight different headphone 
audio switching configurations which can be selected at the touch 
or a button. 

MK2R+ is available from stock in the USA.  MK2R will arrive in the 
US this week.  MK2R and MK2R+ are the most advanced, flexible, and 
feature rich devices of their kind available today.

73,
