that expected? </blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, first you want to check for dupes in the secondary radio window, (e.g. press CapsLock, data entry focus change only, not TX focus), then <i>at the right time</i>, you want to transmit to make a call. TX focus doesn't switch to secondary radio until you press a message key. This is a problem if you want to make a call on the secondary radio using the paddles. In that case, the only way to do it is is press [*] (or use two paddles, one for each radio).</div>

This lets you continue to CQ on Radio 1 while you are entering a callsign in the secondary radio window.</div>

Primary radio is always on the left, secondary on the right. This presents a usability problem when you swap Primary/Secondary by pressing [*], because then the primary radio could be to your right, but you'll now hear it in the left ear (if stereo is enabled), which is backwards.</div>

At least switching from listening on both radios to radio2 should work properly from my point of view.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>It's true that if you press AltGr-T (listen to secondary only), then AltGr-S (toggle stereo ON) then AltGr-S again (toggle stereo OFF), you end up listening to the Primary radio only instead of the secondary. I don't know if this is a bug, or working as intended. Only Win-Test SO2R designer CT1BOH knows for sure. ;-)</div>
