I agree that using hardware (mostly) is the better way to go for this.  If
you don't have an LPT port, what are you using as an SO2R box?  Note that
the microHAM MK2R+ has a 25-pin "ACC" output that can be configured for
"Protocol Control," then using LUA scripts in Win-Test you can send
commands to adjust those pins:

wtMicroham:Send(strCommand)

where strCommand is

"AM1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"<CR> SetAccOutputs(R1, outputs)
"AM2xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"<CR> SetAccOutputs(R2, outputs)

You can also set pins 2,3,4, or 5 to track TX1/TX2 TX focus.
