Not sure I understand what the "switching" problem is, but I suspect 
that if each radio had its own computer it might work better for you. 
Lots of guys run multiple networked computers. There are minor 
problems with avoiding duplicate serial nrs and with keeping CQs 
synched at slow times if both stations are "run", but otherwise it is 
pretty smooth. Present cost of a simple computer to service the 
second station can be less than the hardware some guys put into these 
extra boxes.

Also, the redundancy is nice - one complete station can fail and you 
are still chugging along at half speed.
