Yes.   I tested both jacks to make sure they work.  I just am not 100%
sure that I've checked there was no signal from jack 1 when I had
selected only jack 2 in the software.  I picked up some emitters at
the MIT Flea last Sunday, but probably won't get around to trying
things out for at least a week or two.
