Hi all - I currently use a 3 position toggle switch to toggle audio into
my headphones: Switch right - Radio 1 both ears; Switch middle -
Radio 1 R ear, radio 2 L ear; Switch left - radio 2 both ears.
When trying to crack a pileup on radio 2 while running on Radio 1, I
found myself doing a LOT of flipping the switch (positioned between
the 2 radios). While trying to copy a call on my run radio, in answer
to a CQ, I found the pileup in radio 2 a bit distracting, so tended to
flip both ears to radio 1 to pull out the callsigns. My left hand was
bouncing back and forth from the keyboard to the switch a lot. This
made me wonder if maybe a foot switch would be more efficient. I'd
like to hear comments from some of the SO2R guys how they do
it. - switching audio, when you listen to both radios at same time,
etc.
Tnx/Barry
