Not quite.

The output of a manual transmission (sending by paddles or speaking into the
mic.) should  go to the *last* radio where a message was sent, which can be
either the primary or secondary radio.  The star key can be used to override
this default behavior.  This works OK on CW right now, but it doesn't work
the same on phone.  It looks like we agree that this is a bug (on phone).

One of the things that make's Win-Test's Advanced SO2R feature difficult to
use is that there is no way to immediately move the paddles or mic. to the
"left" or "right" rig except to hit star, which unfortunately swaps the
windows.  Suddenly the right-hand window controls left-hand radio, the
left-hand window controls the right-hand radio, and the brain starts to get
really confused.

As I have proposed before, two symmetrical logging areas (left rig and right
rig), similar to N1MM, would make Win-Test a lot easier for SO2R operating,
I believe.

for one mock-up.
