The Contour ShuttlePRO V2 is the ultimate input device for rig control and tuning. Its sleek ergonomic design provides single-hand access to 15 fully programmable buttons plus two concentric tuning/control knobs. Nine (9) of the buttons have removable key caps for easy labeling and referencing. It is simple to program PowerSDR™ mouse and keyboard functions into the ShuttlePRO to control the most used radio functions,such as VFO tuning, RIT, XIT, MultiWatch™, filter width, mode, CW speed, etc.Configurations for different modes of operation may be saved, restored,and shared with other users.

Heil HM-5™ "Handi Mic" for the FLEX-3000
 Finally the hollow, clamshell sound from other communication microphones is gone with the Handi Mic and it is only 4" tall!
For years, Bob Heil has been working on eliminating the hollow, clamshell sounds of the hand microphone. There is no argument, when you place a high quality microphone element inside a shell; the end result sounds like you are talking from the bottom of a barrel!
HeilSound designed a very special open sorbothane shock mount that puts the various Heil microphone elements in the open, not encased in a shell. This results in the cleanest, clearest and most articulate hand microphone - EVER! The low handling noise and exceptional cardioid pattern makes the Handi Mic ideal for mobile or portable use.
The PTT button is ergonomically located at the top of the HM-5 body for effortless keying of your transceiver.
The HM-5 Handi Mic contains the full-range communication HC-5 element which is perfect for "rag chewing". Engineered with a frequency response designed for a fuller range of articulate voice clarity. Not mushy, bassy, paging type audio, but clear, easy to understand SSB audio. This element actually places a +6dB rise @ 2KHz (a frequency the human ear is highly responsive to).

Array Solutions PowerMaster Station Monitor
The Array Solutions PowerMaster Station Monitor is a multi-function highly accurate watt meter that is loaded with features and control capabilities that will compliment any ham shack. In addition to performing basic VSWR and peak reading watt meter functions, the PowerMaster has the capability to be interfaces with the shack computer using the PowerMaster PRO software and automatically shut down power amplifiers if user definable VSWR or wattage thresholds are exceeded. For more information, you can read the technical review that was in the January edition of QST. Below are some of the features of the Array Solutions PowerMaster station Monitor.
Features
- Measures RF power and VSWR with an accuracy typically better than +/- 3% over frequency and temperature ranges.
- Peak Hold Modes – programmable for fast (1/2 sec), medium, slow, and Long ( 5 sec) to match your operating mode - CW, SSB, data, FM, whatever your sending!
- Eight (8) effective sampling circuits with auto-ranging software allows it to sample with 12 bit A/D resolution.
- Separate Display and Coupler/Sensor boxes. Sensor can be remotely located at your amp. No RF cables on top of your desk or radio to cause RFI and other clutter issues!
- Displays VSWR, RF Power Nunerical and Bar graph at the same time.
- Bar Graph – Operates in two modes, Auto Ranging Power and VSWR you can peak your amp sending dots or talking into a mic or dip your VSWR with your tuner using dots. Easy on the tubes and efficient.
- Bar Graph in Power mode – Auto Ranging in user selectable ranges – Easy to read
- Large Vacuum Fluorescent Display – Easy to read even in bright sunlight
- Can be integrated with a PC using the PowerMaster Software Interface
- Programmable from front panel or via RS232 – Even display your call letters in it too!
- RS232 Application for you PC - Will allow remote user’s full use of meter even on the Internet
