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.
Can't create a VPN to your FlexRadio home network? No problem. Run OpenShack on a Windows PC at the FlexRadio site and use CW-Remote. OpenShack then carries CW and PTT to the radio without requiring VPN access to the FlexRadio itself.
What it does.
It solves one very specific problem for Flex owners: comfortable physical CW and PTT without a Maestro.
