You want the YCCC box. Google to find it. It's a kit, roughly $200.
Takes roughly 6 hours to build, easy soldering, including the interface
cables. Very well thought out. A bunch of NCCC guys have built them and

Neat!

Since Rick chose to make one of his typical swipes at the microHAM
hardware and software, I guess I need to weigh in on this topic -
something I have refrained from doing so far.

MK2R+ is without question the most
The DX Doubler met my SO2R needs for fifteen years until last year when I
migrated to computers that don't have native LPT (or, Serial) ports. That
was really the only impetus to look into other SO2R controllers. I
considered the YCCC SO2R box, the microHAM MKR2 and the newly released
microHAM u2
Just realized that my posted response addressed the other responses more
than John's original query, so here is more direct input. The u2R is a
superset of the DX Doubler feature set and more expensive. It is an
individual decision as to whether those additional features are worth the
higher pric
I have had a Microham MK2R+ for a long time. It works great. It is no
more difficult to set up than the Logging software you are going to use
with it. So if you can't figure out N1MM or Writelog you probably won't
figure out any of the SO2R setups.
There is a learning curve with anything. W

To *almost* MK2R capability ... there are some headphone switching
options and a couple of advance control features that can't be
duplicated. However, by using an MK II and a DK II with micro2R
one has even mo

FSK is not important to everyone. It isn't to me, even though I'm an
active RTTY contester. And it's trivially easy to do SO2R
.

See http://audiosystemsgroup.com/RFI-Ham.pdf for a detailed discussion
of "the Pin One Problem," which is a failure to terminate cable shields
to the chassis.
