Not sure what you mean by "LP" in the Subject line, but "Yes".I use a DXD
with WriteLog and 

have use of all the DXD features.  In fact, I added the footswitch mod to
the DXD that works great to better manage audio in SO2R.  Can't recall, but
I think the details were from a W4 & probably Dave at DXD HQ has the info.

 

HOWEVER, I have Elecraft KRC2 Band decoders, so come out of the computer
with a USB to (2) serial port adaptor, and then the RS-232 cables plug
directly into the 2 band decoders.  The band decoders then plug into the
radios via separateshort RS-232 connector'd end cables (I have Kenwood
radios, so there are no separate Band Data ports on the rigs)..  I think the
band decoder info port on the DXD is for a DXD band decoder, but not sure.
