Station Master Deluxe
A computer independent "network" controller for
large stations with multiple antenna switches, SteppIR antennas, rotators,
automatic amplifiers and other shared devices.
Forget impossible, get the microHAM
advantage!
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.
