Sierra Radio Systems Raspberry Pi Host Adaptors
Sierra Radio Systems Raspberry Pi Host Adaptors are the brain of the station controller system. Featuring a Raspberry Pi™ 3 running the Node Red Station Controller flow, simply plug your modules into the RJ45 ports on the controller board, apply power to any board and the system is ready to go. Power is supplied by attaching power to either the power pole connection or the 2.5mm plug and power can be applied to any board in the system. Three RJ45 jacks provide connection and power to the other modules in the system, and you can add modules as you need them. There is an optional Heltec v3 LoRa radio module to be able to control over the air, but this is not a requirement for full station control operation. The SIR-310 comes with: • The Raspberry Pi Adaptor board with built-in power supply and DCN hub • Raspberry Pi 3 single board computer • SD card with the latest operating system and Node Red Station Controller flow NOTE: At least one module is required for the Raspberry Pi Host Adaptor to be able to control devices in the shack.

YCCC Vertical Array Directional Switch Console Kits
Closeout- Other YCCC array components are no longer available YCCC Vertical Array Directional Switch Console Kits were used to control the YCCC vertical array combiner/controller units, which have been discontinued. They feature an attractive cabinet with an ergonomic direction-selector knob and direction indicating LEDs. Power Pole type connectors are used for DC power connection. These kits require component-level assembly and soldering parts to a PCB. The switching console is installed in the shack, with the control cable run from the switching unit to the combiner/controller unit at the array. Power for the entire antenna system is provided by a 13.8V DC (1A capability or greater) power supply that the user must provide. Use of a "wall wart" type of power supply is not recommended because they generally have very poor DC regulation. These switch units are for use ONLY with YCCC vertical antenna arrays, which are discontinued and no longer available for sale. All inquiries and technical support for these YCCC kits and kit packages is handled by e-mail only, typically within two to three business days: yccctechsupport@verizon.net

West Mountain Radio TARGETuner Screwdriver Antenna Controllers
West Mountain Radio TARGETuner Screwdriver Antenna Controllers are designed as screwdriver antenna management systems that include motor control for the antenna and frequency sensing for band matching. They are ideal for mobile antennas with a remote control head. TARGETuners sense the RF Signal going to the antenna and will work with any transmitter or transceiver. They do not depend on a radio data link for band selection and do not need to control the radio for activation. TARGETuners provide a digital display of basic transmitter frequency and SWR, as well as manual tuning control options that allow the user to monitor antenna performance and manually adjust the antenna if necessary. These TARGETuner systems continuously monitor transmitter frequency and antenna performance and can adjust the antenna accordingly with vehicle movement, antenna icing, or any other proximity or environmental related antenna detuning effects. They even have an SWR alarm! TARGETuner's RF Sensing Module is remote from the radio controls. This limits RF exposure to other radio and antenna-control components. An industry standard shielded CAT-5 cable serves as interconnect between the TARGETuner RF Sensor Module and TARGETuner Controller. Power is supplied through industry standard PowerPole Connectors for ease of power connection and fusing. Check out these TARGETuner details: * Senses RF signal into the antenna * Auto tuning * Auto-detect complete antenna position sensor range to generate the antenna tuning range * Motor control direction relative to transmitter frequency and SWR tuning to automatically seek a minimum SWR reading * No radio data link required for band selection * Direction switch and motor speed control * PWM speed control for the antenna motor with Motor Current and Antenna Position Feedback. * Programmable for stall-current sensing * Easy programming and memory capabilities * USB Port allows for users to make firmware updates * TTL Rig Control Serial Port reads the frequency directly from ICOM or Yaesu radios using CI-V, CAT or serial rig control, if desired (cables optional) * Digital display for basic transmission frequency and SWR * Manual tuning controls for monitoring antenna performance and adjustments * Monitoring of vehicle movement, icing and many other environmental factors * Convenient and safe PowerPole connectors for simple installation TARGETuner specifications: * Primary Power: 13.75 Volts DC, 2.1 Amps Max, 33 mA Standby - internally monitored and fused * Antenna Motor Voltage: 13.75 Volts PWM Speed Controlled * Antenna Motor Current: Monitored, and maximum current selectable 2.0 Amps Max (Intermittent) * Antenna Encoder Range: 0 to 9999 * Frequency Range: 1.800 MHz to 54.000 MHz * Frequency Readout: Better than plus/minus 0.01 percent * Useable RF Power Range: 2.0 to 800 Watts * SWR Range: 1.0:1 to 9.9:1 - auto level and ranging * Frequency / SWR Antenna Location Memories: 30 * Weight: 2.2 lbs. * Dimensions: Controller Unit - 1.313 in. H x 4.64 in. W x 3 in. D * Dimensions: RF Sensing Module - 1.375 in. H x 3.5 in. W x 4.5 in. D Screwdriver antennas have revolutionized HF mobile multiband operation.

Paradan Radio Dual Operator Controllers
Paradan Radio Dual Operator Controllers are exciting devices that enable two operators to use one transceiver to independently make contacts and listen. This audio, microphone, and PTT controller is perfect for two-person portable operations like POTA or SOTA, as well as tandem operating during events such as Field Day or radio contests. This controller is exactly what hams need for one-on-one training of new operators, for any type of operation including casual, DXing and contesting! This is a perfect way for parents, grandparents, siblings and friends to share their love of our great hobby and to get others on the air! The Dual Operator Controller is appropriately designed for each operator to wear their own personal headset and to use their designated footswitch. Both operators hear the transceiver audio until Operator 1 depresses their footswitch. Then their respective LED illuminates, the audio is muted to their headphones, their headset microphone is connected and the radio keys to transmit. As Operator 1 completes the contact (QSO), Operator 2 can hear the QSO via the radio monitor audio and either operator can perform the logging function for the QSO. When Operator 1 releases their footswitch, Operator 2 can depress their footswitch, their LED lights and everything connects in order for them to make a QSO on the same transceiver, while Operator 1 listens. Of course, either operator can perform logging tasks, or each can do their own logging. The dual footswitch PTT of the Dual Operator Controller functions on a "first come, first served" basis. Either operator can key the transceiver and talk, just not both at the same time. No computer or software is required or connects to the Paradan Radio Dual Operator Controller. This device provides a simple and straightforward way to connect mic, headphones and PTT for "2OSR" - Two Operator - Single Radio fun! The Paradan Radio Dual Operator Controller set includes the controller, two footswitches, one brand and connector specific radio interface cable (8-pin Round or 8-pin Modular RJ45; Icom or Yaesu), a 3.5mm male audio patch cable and 6.35mm adapter, and a power cable for 10-15VDC. Order the unit that corresponds to the correct mic cable for your transceiver. Internal jumpers can be set to configure the unit mic input for either dynamic or electret on both microphone elements. This controller works with Amateur headsets that have an attached boom microphone, and consumer headsets referred to as "computer or gaming" headsets. Paradan Radio Dual Operator Controller Specifications: * Power: 10-15 Volts DC * Power Input Connector: 2.1mm * Footswitch Connector: 1/4 inch (6.35mm) female * Headphone and Audio Connectors: 1/8 inch (3.5mm) female stereo * Headset Microphone Connectors: 1/8 inch (3.5mm) female stereo (accepts mono plug) * Radio Microphone Adapter Cable: 8-pin Round or RJ-45, manufacturer dependent. * Audio Cable: 18 in. length, 1/8 in. (3.5mm) plugs, 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. adapter * Power Cable: 36 in. length, 2.1mm DC plug to Powerpoles * Dimensions, WHD: 4.75 x 1.50 x 2.50 in. (121 x 38 x 64mm) * Weight: 12 oz. (0.34 kg)
