Is there a way to determine from an examination of the card specifications if this operation is possible? >I chase DX on RTTY with two instances of MMTTY - one from rcv1 >feeding the DX station audio into the left channel and the other from rcv2 >feeding the pile-up into the right channel.

The Turtle Beach Montego seems a bit over-kill, but has full S/P DIF I/O and their Win 7 drivers are expected out by the end of the month. The only reason I am dwelling a bit on S/P DIF is my radio (ICOM IC-7700) supports both S/P DIF input and output. I want to thank the moderators of this group for their indulgence with this OT subject. You and I should probably take this off-line.
