I sugessted the two tones...if not using headphones, or headphone switching,
using high in one radio, and low in another, lets you distinguish which
radio is which....you are correct, the software doesnt care, and I didnt
mean to imply it was needed, just an cheap and easy way to tell which radio
is which....

Dick,
I agree with what Kirk wrote, with one addition.
Someone else has posted a suggestion about using different tones on the
two radios. The two channels in the stereo sound card
don't care whether
you use the same or different tones. As far as the software is concerned,
you can use the same tones in both.
If you like to listen to RTTY signals either to help with fine tuning or
simply so you are aware of which radio the received signals are coming
from without having to look, then you can wire up a cable assembly for
stereo headphones with the input to the left ear from one radio and the
input to the right ear from the other radio. This lets you use the same
tones in both radios and distinguish between them by left vs. right. If
you are using mono headphones, then using different tones in the two
radios might help distinguish between them. Either of these is in lieu of
the more elaborate audio switching an SO2R box can do. If you don't
like
to listen to RTTY, you
don't need either of these.

just RTTY SO2R that you are interested in, then you probably
don't
