Remote World for FlexRadio operators

Flex Keyer

Operate CW and PTT on your FlexRadio transceiver via network. The Box stays with the operator, your sidetone stays instant, and the radio is keyed through SmartSDR.

Requires a Remote license for the client. No additional licenses are required for this FlexRadio workflow.
