CTR2-Duo

$110.00

To eliminate confusion over CTR2-Flex hardware and CTR2-Flex firmware, the CTR2-Flex dual-encoder units have been rebranded as CTR2-Duo. There is no change in the hardware. CTR2-Duo runs the CTR2-Flex/CTR2-Dial dual-boot firmware.

  • 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-Duo.

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.

NOTE: The  plastic knob style and color are subject to availability. You can replace the supplied knobs with any knob of your choice that accepts a 6mm knurled shaft.

Description

 


CTR2-Duo 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. 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.

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.

NOTE: Keying operation with CTR2-Dial firmware is dependent on the radio control app’s support for paddles, keying, and PTT.

The knobs on CTR2-Duo are detent (bumpy) type because these knobs are typically used for volume, squelch, RIT, and DSP control. Each knob can be assigned to a separate Dial functions. The build-in pushbuttons on each of the knobs can 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.
