for what it may be worth...
For my pair-of-K2's in SO2R, I have routed the audio in such a way that I have
a balance control with the audio from the two radios. I call it a mixing
control. I find that "optimum" is achieved when the full strength audio is in
one ear, and that same audio is present, but weak in the other ear. I reason
that when the audio goes to one ear only, the content must get to the other
hemisphere of the brain within brain circuitry. When it is routed to both
ears, now both hemispheres get the information for interpretation at the same
time. Making it strong in one ear and weak in the other, reversed for the
other channel, lets me know which rcvr I am hearing, while brain interpretation
is at full speed.
and so, Wayne...
I think that there must be a firmware way either by routing to a panel pot, or
probably more simply in a menu, by which the operator can select either
complete channel isolation, or both channels to both ears, but with one ear X
DB down from the other. (I can't say how much down is best,but I find that it
is enough when I can barely notice it. All of a sudden copy is MUCH easier).
Give it a thought because of the above, I, at least, am quite convinced after a
lot of usage with a pair of K2's in SO2R, that is a much better arrangement for
copying CW from the two channels.
with much appreciation for this fine radio,
