[CQ-Contest] SO2R controller survey

[Trent Sampson]

Out of curiosity what controllers/interfaces do the guys use to achieve the 2 Computer SO2R formats ?

I have a Mk2+ and a DXD - they both have uses and both are good at the job. 

The DXD gets used for portable operation mainly.

Ditto here. My DX Doubler is just the right thing for me.
