[CQ-Contest] Using the Array Solutions SO2R Master with FT1000MP and FT1000D

Sounds like mine.  Something happened & now I must rely on one of the rigs'
VOX to key & not route PTT from the computer through the SO2R box.
Otherwise, headphone routing was stuffed & that one rig would not TX.
Problem either in computer ports or SO2R, as any rig I connect has the
problem.  Been too busy to try & get to the bottom of it - been broken since
IARU.  Believe problem is with Radio A, just like yours.

Now that I think of it, I didn't start looking at it too closely as the 
schematic
supplied omits the control head & it's always been my luck that the bit that's
dead is always "off the map".  Or, even with the simplest of circuits, one 
spends
so much time understanding how the undocumented bit relates with the rest, the
frustration factor gets a several dB head start.
