really the rules ask for hardware interlock. I believe that the rules ask for hardware because with software interlock there is always the chance to steal even by mistake. For example you can use your key or your microphone and steal. But this is up to you. If software interlock works as it works in writelog (just perfect) and not as it works in n1mm (totally unreliable) there is no problem to comply with the meaning of the rules. I know many stations work with software interlock without problems but they don't allow keys or mics and there is no problem!

I am not by any means an expert on this as I only do SO2R and have done just one M2 in the early days before much of the current strategy was formulated with multiple rigs per station.

I believe the rules require you to have a hardware lockout. In my case my SO2R controller ensures that the two transmitters are never on air at the same time.

With regard to M2 and the other MS and even MM the evolving strategies may make it difficult for software solutions. When I add a third rig I know WriteLog will support it BUT I will have to ensure that it is not on air with any other transmitters etc. I couldn't expect WriteLog to mirror my strategy of using 3 or 4 rigs.

So I do think that the issues of rig lockouts should be addressed in hardware because the rules require that.

Just my 2 cents.

    I think that the point is to define what station you have and you
    can change it. For example I have run1 as nr1 in the radio column
    and run2 as nr2. If I could define the rest of the stations to be
    either nr1 or nr2 and not nr3, nr4, etc. plus to have the
    interlock works *only *with the same number station, should be ok
    for M2.
