Why ControlDeck? ControlDeck is a touch-first control surface for FLEX-6000 and FLEX-8000 radios. Customize a button grid, drag to tune the VFO, and run multi-step macros from your iPhone or iPad. It's a different approach to the same problem a Stream Deck solves — programmable hot-key control of your radio — without dedicated hardware, host-computer software, or per-station configuration. The app connects directly to the radio over the network, at the desk or via SmartLink. Key Features • Macros: chain 50+ built-in actions into multi-step sequences • Rearrangeable button grid — long-press to edit, drag to reorder • Show or hide individual controls to match your operating style • Drag-to-tune VFO with five step sizes and haptic feedback • Audio and DSP controls: volume, pan, NB, NR, AGC, APF/ANF — all drag-adjustable • Multi-slice support with slice selector and +SLICE creation • SmartLink remote access using your existing SmartLink account • TX control: power, ATU, TUNE with safety timeout, CW speed, mic gain • RIT/XIT offset tuning • Bands 160M through 6M; modes LSB, USB, AM, CW, DIGL, DIGU, SAM, FM, NFM, DFM, RTTY • Works alongside SmartSDR (or any other SDR software) or Maestro on the radio • Responsive layout for iPhone and iPad, portrait and landscape • Optional Keep Screen Awake mode for long operating sessions • Built-in Demo Mode to explore the interface without hardware How It Works 1. Open ControlDeck — radios on your local network appear automatically 2. Tap a radio to connect, or sign in to SmartLink for remote access 3. Bind to a GUI client (SmartSDR, Maestro, or any other SDR Software) and start operating 4. Customize: hide what you don't use, reorder the rest, build macros for routine operations Requirements • A FLEX-6000 series transceiver (FLEX-6300, 6400, 6400M, 6500, 6600, 6600M, 6700) or FLEX-8000 series transceiver (FLEX-8400, 8400M, 8600, 8600M) • SmartSDR, Maestro, or any other SDR Software running as the GUI client • iOS 17.0 or later • iPhone or iPad • Local network access (for local discovery) or a SmartLink account (for remote operation) — ControlDeck is an independent, third-party companion app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by FlexRadio Systems, Inc.
