Built mine from the schematic in the back of the NA manual.  Works extremely
well.  Go for it.  Milt, N5IA

Another option is building something yourself. In my opinion, that's
part of the fun of station design.
I built a little box that switches receive audio (including sub-
receivers), and when radio A is in xmit, both ears are automatically
switched to radio B (and vice versa). It cost under $20 in parts,
including the box.
I submitted this to NCJ around the end of last year. I don't know
how backlogged they are for small articles, but Dennis told me it
will be in there one of these days...
If you're interested, here is a preview:

For the paranoid (which includes me), this is an MS-Word
document containing text and graphics. There are no macros used,
so you can trust the content, if your browser gives you any
warnings.

TEAM SELECTION CRITERIA

Dear Martti:

Nice to hear from you and great to see that you are now starting on
our "Magic Band".   Now you will be a complete DXer,    hi, hi !!!.
Welcome .

Thanks for all informations about the team selection criteria.

I still cannot see that nice competition that will be the WRTC2002, without
2 oficial teams from South America. We need to have 1 for Argentina and
another for Brazil. Will be nice to see more 2 wild card team for the
other South American operators also.

This is a unanimous opinion here and from many other friends outside
South America.

73s and see you maybe next year in OH land!.
