[WriteLog] SO2R with two soundboards

[WA9ALS - John]

Good deal, John.  I have 2 copies of MMTTY decoding with 2 soundboards now,
with WriteLog.  I can't run RITTY anymore since I got WIN2000, but I think
you will find that MMTTY is very close, especially depending on how you set
up the MMTTY parameters.  HAVE FUN!  73

AKA, SO2R on a budget - MMTTY is FREE and SB16PCI is $30 for 2nd soundcard!
