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.

Gord,
I was using RemoteRig boxes for a while. That solution works but I found
the setup and maintenance to be a hassle. A few months ago I yanked them
out and set up WL Remote.
Tom is right in that WL Remote works as advertised. I've had trouble with
the Windoze sound functions. Everything else just works. I use a TopTen
band decoder to select antenna, and an ERC kit to modify the Yaesu G-1000
rotor control box so it can be accessed remotely. Works great.
The one thing I found lacking is the fact that almost all PC sound cards
use a mono "mic" input jack. Only the older ones have a stereo "line-in".
I'm trying out this little device and it seems to solve that problem:

Now I can use the SUB RX in stereo. I haven't tried it, but one of the
microHAM rig control boxes might also work.
I happen to be at the remote site now and I'll try adding an SDR to get a
spectrum display on the band map. That's the next project.
