[CQ-Contest] SO2R audio recording

[MARK BAILEY]

Hi Mike:

I checked and the Amazon page says that is a MONO mixer.  It will mix the two stereo channels into a single mono channel.  I need them split, one radio on left channel, one on right channel.  I'd prefer having the levels independent of the operator's headphone volume and am looking into using the rear panel "AF Out" or "Line Out" connectors.

Using a mixer is a good idea though!  Thanks.

Mark
