It's helpful to be really clear on the rules. The rules do not say anything about interlocks. The ARRL rules for M/2 say "no more than two signals transmitted simultaneously." You can accomplish that with hardware, software or hand signals between the ops. Interlocks, per se, are not required.

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.

   Possible add 1-2 Support/Mult station

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.
