Many articles have been written on how
to wire and control a two-radio station or stations with multiple operating
positions. All past solutions have required a lot of custom cabling with
multi-conductor cables and possibly a complex diode matrix for antenna
selection. While this method may work, it is tedious and difficult to change
station configurations.
With ShackLAN, all antenna
switching, rotor control, radio control, stack switching, etc are
interconnected via a standard Ethernet networking hub using standard,
inexpensive, off-the shelf network cables. This allows every operating
position to have access to all antennas and rotor controls. Since most
multi-multi stations already have a network for connecting each operating
position, you have already installed most of the wiring.
Do you have a multiple radio setup
and occasionally like to set up a separate operating position for a
multi-two contest effort? With ShackLAN, all you need to provide for the
second station is a network connection and a feedline to give the temporary
station full access to antennas, filters, rotor controls, etc. ShackLAN is
also ideal for the ham who has a main station in one room of the house and a
casual operating position in a different location, such as a den or family
room.
Ever had an antenna fail during a
contest? Most of us had, at one time or another. With ShackLAN, it takes
only seconds to remap your antenna assignments.
With ShackLAN, you do not need to
boot up your computer just to run your station. All ShackLAN products
operate independently of your computer and you only need your computer to
configure the system using our simple, intuitive GUI configuration software.
All Shack-LAN network commands are
sent in plain text and are fully documented for those who wish to write
their own custom control software.
