Capabilities

Instead of a mouse

  • Tune with a 1024 PPR optical encoder, a 48 mm metal knob and adjustable green illumination. Three additional push encoders complement the main tuning control.
  • Fourteen programmable buttons provide quick access to ExpertSDR commands. Change their assignments to match the way you operate.

Headphones, microphone and key

  • Four rear 6.3 mm stereo sockets connect headphones, a microphone, a CW key and a PTT footswitch. The built-in 24-bit CS4272 codec provides a 114 dB dynamic range.
  • ExpertSDR sends audio to the panel and transceiver with comparable latency. A dedicated CW core minimises sidetone latency for Morse operation.

Setup and connection

72 ExpertSDR functions

  • Assign the buttons and encoders in the ExpertSDR settings window. Templates cover 72 functions, from receiver adjustments to transmit controls.

USB and three operating systems

  • The panel supports Windows, macOS and Linux. USB supplies both the connection and power: 5 V from a port rated for at least 0.5 A.
