microHAM DigiKeyer, DigiKeyer II, microKEYER II, microKEYER III, MK2R+
(SO2R controller) and DXP support dual channel audio for transceiver
receive.  The other interfaces do not.

If one is setting up a remote station, DXP may be the better choice
as it provides native operating system serial ports that do not need
microHAM USB Device Router.  DXP also provides a WinKey 3 for CW and
hardware UART for FSK - all with native COM ports.  With DXP one
would use the DXP sound card for digital receive/remote audio and the
(remote) computer soundcard (or VoIP) for SSB DVK.
