[CQ-Contest] SO2R simulator...

[Martin LU5DX]

Hi Doug,

With N1MM I usually use two PCs, two Morse Runner instances (one on each 
computer), and two keyboards.

For just one computer, DXlog.net allows you to set it up really easy

For more flexibility, if using just one keyboard you may want to use a 
keyboard with plenty of macro keys. So, with a single keystroke you can 
start typing in calls in the inactive radio window without switching RX 
focus, send Fx memories in the same way, etc. Much like having two 
keyboards.

But it depends on how you want to approach SO2R. The latest fashion 
seems to be using two computers, two keyboards, software/hardware 
interlock with no noticeable delay. Some SO2R controllers have a very 
high delay when swtitching audio. That really hurts the rate and the bad 
calls total.

As far as audio is concerned, I noticed that complete isolation between 
the two channels is not good at all.  So, depending on the impedance of 
your rigs audio outputs, put a resistor between the two channels to let 
a small fraction of the audio drain to the opposite channel. That makes 
stereo RX a pleasure. Withouththat, it is not, specially for those of us 
who are really far away from EU/USA and JA (increased signal degradation 
because of the distance and number of hops).

Hope it helps,
