Station Master Deluxe� is big brother of regular Station Master� and has all its capabilities but provides more ergonomic user interface with large 240x64 LCD, a lot of buttons and stacked antenna support.  Station Master Deluxe is designed for large single radio stations with multiple rotators and stacks, advanced SO2R stations requiring full control and ergonomic setup for each radio position, and all multi station setups. 
 
The thing that makes Station Master Deluxe (SMD) really different, is network operation. Multiple SMD units can be linked over a reliable, low latency "uLink" bus (RS-485) independent of the computer LAN network. The uLINK bus supports up to 16 SMDs (8 SO2R operating positions or 16 single radio operating positions).  Each linked SMD can simultaneously control up to 32 uLink modules.  The total length of the uLINK bus can be up to 4000 ft (CAT5 cable) � enough to comfortably link a complete multi-op station including the antenna farm.  The uLINK modules are small, remote, dedicated function boards - relay output module, RS232 module, A/D module, rotator control module, stepper motor module, etc. - to control end point devices like antenna switches, stack switches, beverage switches, rotator controllers, motors, matching networks, and more. 
 
Station Master Deluxe includes a user configurable system of hierarchical priorities and lockouts which allows sharing endpoint final devices by multiple stations without collisions and damage.
