The problem with this is that it would require a proprietary hardware interface. The existing two-radio switching uses the "industry standard" LPT pin 14 toggle that's been around since the days of DOS loggers such as CT and TR. Paul even made the logic of this control line selectable to work with NA in Version 7. This convention works well with several commercially-available SO2R switch boxes such as the Top Ten DX Doubler I use. Using more than one LPT pin to do the radio selection would require some sort of decoding hardware to do the switching. I suppose pin 14 could serve as the least significant bit of a two-bit radio select word and it would be up to the user to come up with a custom switchbox to switch the various audio and control lines among the four radios. I know of no hardware that supports more than two radios. 73...
