[WriteLog] Writelog Remote

[Robert]

To further speak on Joe's email 
workable options for writelog to rig 

Key feature to writelog remote:
if you are already doing CW local, it will work remote
if you are already doing RTTY, it will work with the remote 
best I can tell and experienced

FWIW
I use an external sound card line in to get the dual audio input

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.
