CTR2-Flex – w/ 3D Printed Enclosure

Description

Unlike CTR2-Dial or CTR2-MIDI which are one-way MIDI controllers, CTR2-Flex 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 a CTR2-Dial or CTR2-MIDI. Even better, you can have two or more CTR2-Flex units connected to your radio with each controlling a different slice.

Use this page to order your CTR2-Flex in a 3D printed enclosure designed by Neil, G7UFO. A commercial, injection-molded, CNC milled, New Age enclosure version is available here.

CTR2-Flex 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-Flex includes a touchscreen display that doubles as a control surface offering virtual Dials and Buttons similar to CTR2-Dial 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 has a built-in keyer and sidetone. All models support CW paddle input, even the dual-encoder model so you can connect your CW paddle to operate CW over your network connection.

External encoder options include either one encoder with a large VFO type knob, or two encoders with small knobs. You can choose either detent (bumpy) or no-detent (smooth) turn action on the external encoders.

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.
