[RTTY] AA5AU Contest Notes now multi computer n1mm SO#R

[Mark]

I've run n1mm with two networked pcs, one controlling an so2r pair and the other computer
running a single rig.  You will need to set the log up for a multi something category to get
the computers talking.  In a serial number contest you'll have to verify they are done
correctly for your single op category.

Then I ran the so2r computer with last one wins for the so2r lockout, and for the networked
selection,  'stop other rig when this one transmits'.   This pretty well emulates so3r operation,
Last one wins but with a fee caveats.  When running with cq repeat on one of the so2r rigs, if 
you start a transmission on the so3r rig during a receive time on the so2r radio, the cq repeat is not disabled and with start up, disabling your so3r radio during its transmission.  This is 
confusing.

I did not try so2v operation with multiple computers so can't comment.

There is some discussion of 2 computer so2r at

http://n1mm.hamdocs.com/tiki-index.php?page=Single+Operator+Two+Radio+Operation+%28SO2R%29

See section. 1.1

Also I use a program called synergy which allows me to use one keyboard and mouse for both
computers.  If I run ESM with rt click sends error, I can run all the rigs based on moving the 
mouse cursor onto the correct monitor, thereby the correct computer.

The 'skeptical bias, but willingness to stick with it long enough to form an experienced opinion' was shining through in the beginning.  :-)

In your article you mention the desire to do SO2R using two computers. I'll preface my comments that I don't have SO2R setup at my QTH although I have used it at the KØIR station. In that environment it is a two computer network setup, each one configured for SO2R capability.

I have cc:ed the N1MM Digital reflector so others might share their experience and let you know of any limitations when emulating SO2R using two computers in this configuration.
