I guess that Bob meant that the 2 laptops he is using would be connected 
to the router similar to a multi-op network.

I have not tried this but I guess that this wiring should work when 
connected to the external keyboard connector of the DVK-100.

I have noticed some delays when I open some other applications while a 
message is played. Otherwise the voice keyer has worked well on my >6
