CTR2-Uno

$110.00

To eliminate confusion over CTR2-Flex hardware and CTR2-Flex firmware, CTR2-Flex, single-encoder units have been rebranded as CTR2-Uno. There is no change in the hardware. CTR2-Uno runs the CTR2-Flex/CTR2-Dial dual-boot firmware. Just select the firmware you want to run from the Settings menu.

  • Select the type of enclosure from the options below. You can select the commercial, New Age injection molded, CNC machined enclosure or the 3D printed enclosure.
  • Select the firmware you’d like your unit to boot into on delivery. You can change the boot firmware at any time from the Settings menu.

When running CTR2-Flex firmware, you can connect to, and control your Flex 6000/8000 series radio over WiFi using the Flex API. This mode is a true radio controller and includes a dashboard display where you can easily select and control many parameters on your radio. You can run any version of SmartSDR in parallel with CTR2-Uno.

When running CTR2-Dial firmware, the unit becomes a MIDI controller and can control any radio control app that supports MIDI control, including Marcus’ (DL8MRE) SmartSDR for iOS/MacOS, SDR-Control, FT-Control, TS-Control, and K4-Control. It can also be used with many Windows based control packages such as Thetis and SDR-Console, and many more.

Description

 


Unlike CTR2-Dial firmware or CTR2-MIDI which are one-way MIDI controllers, CTR2-Uno, running CTR2-Flex firmware connects directly to your Flex radio using the Flex API over WiFi and works with all Windows, Mac, and iOS versions of SmartSDR. In fact, it can even work along side other CTR2-Uno, CTR2-Duo, or CTR2-Quad units connected to your radio with each controlling a different slice.

CTR2-Flex firmware does not support SmartLink. For remote operation with SmartLink you can boot it into CTR2-Dial firmware* and use it as a MIDI controller with SmartSDR for iOS/MacOS.

CTR2-Uno includes a touchscreen display that doubles as a control surface offering virtual Dials and Buttons that allows you to easily change the frequency and settings on your radio. The Dashboard page brings all of the controls to a compact, easy to navigate control page.

CTR2-Flex firmware has a built-in keyer and sidetone. All models support CW paddle input so you can connect your CW paddle to operate CW over your network connection. The CW paddle input jack can also be used for a straight-key (or external keyer) and a PTT switch.

The large knob of CTR2-Uno is a no-detent (smooth) type because this knob is typically used as a VFO control. Turn and push-and-turn actions on the encoder can be assigned two of the Dial functions. The build-in pushbutton on the knob can also be assigned to two Button functions when using short and long-press button actions.

NOTE: The M5Dial has a built-in 12-detent encoder that is not counted in the knob count but it can be assigned a to dial function.

* This unit ships with CTR2-Flex v2 firmware. This firmware can boot into CTR2-Flex or CTR2-Dial. The firmware boot option can be selected in the Settings menu.
