Hi OMs and YLs,

i am absolutely new to Flexradio and would like to know a few things...

I like to make CW QSOs with Windows 11 over a VPN (OpenVPN) to a Flexradio Aurora 510 in my Shack. Is it possible and how is the performance/delay?

Do I need extra hardware to connect the paddle or key to the Windows 11 Notebook?

    Hi OE4UFB,

    Paddle or Straight key can't be used for CW remote with a Windows computer.

    One possible solution is using the MorCoNI network keyer.

    So, the Maestro is the standard out-of-the-box solution for remotely operating the FlexRadio?

    Is it possible to detach the Maestro from the 510M and use it for remote operation, or do I have to buy the 510 and the Maestro separately?

    Separately. The front panel of an M model radio isn't removable.

    @OE4UFB The Maestro allows the CW key to be plugged into it and provides local side tone. Another option for remote CW is the MorConi. It is a small box that connects to your network at the remote operating position and can work with various CW keying. It also has a speaker output for local sidetone as well as adjustable keying speed. See more details at https://www.morconi.comError

    Or, just buy the maestro! Same capabilities with more Flexability.

    While it is not the key/paddle experience, you can use the CWX window in the software to do keyboard CW
