I know that I have re-posted this post from W6QHS before - but 
it is still on my to do list - maybe this fall.
It "sounds" like a good idea to me.

Subject: Re: 2-Radio Audio Switching

I use a 1K pot to adjust feedthrough from one ear to the other, which is
helpful although it doesn't create a true stereo effect.  It depends on the
headphone impedance, but the typical value is between 60-100 ohms.

There is a standard DPDT switch called ON-ON-ON which does the whole job
of A-Both-B headphone switching.  Look on the package or the switch
itself.  In the center position, A is connected to one ear and B to the
other.  The standard audio cable color-coding is red for right, white fo
r left.

If you want to use a DSP filter, you can just connect both stereo outputs
from a typical JA radio to one cable for filter input, connect the output
to both inputs to the switch box.  Some filters have a low-value resistor
at their input (simulating a speaker) which you'll want to remove for
headphone use, and some have an awkward floating ground setup at their
output.

Hope this helps.  Dave, W6QHS

No way!!!  I have never run illegal power in my life.  And I have only
ever operated in Louisana once.  And when I was at W7NI, I didn't inhale.

Yeah, *snicker*, how about the QSO points being the number
of old callsigns received?  I might be worth something
that way.. although I'm sure other's can beat me.
