A 66 mm touchscreen tuning controller for AetherSDR, FlexRadio, the Icom IC-705 and SvxLink.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-29 issue.
For
Ham-radio operators using supported radios and SvxLink
Worth noticing
The vibration motor stays silent during transmit because it sits beside the microphone; the screen is listed as 1.8 inches and 360 × 360.

Field notes

The page describes a bidirectional link with AetherSDR: tuning at the desktop updates the knob, and turning the knob moves the desktop frequency. Its radio-specific screen themes include an Icom-style display, while the SvxLink option is presented as a talkgroup control for reflectors without a radio. The transmit display is described with peak-holding meter readings, and the vibration motor is disabled while transmitting because of its position beside the microphone.
