Introducing the 4O3A Station Manager: Centralized Control for Your Entire Station
The world of amateur radio is evolving fast — and with that comes the need for smarter, more integrated control solutions. Enter the 4O3A Station Manager: a dedicated hardware console designed to bring centralized, seamless control to both local and remote station setups.
What Is Station Manager?
At its core, the Station Manager is a fully programmable hardware controller that connects via LAN or the Internet to manage an entire lineup of Genius family devices, popular transceivers, and other station peripherals. Whether you’re operating a high-performance contest station or a remote setup, Station Manager aims to simplify and unify your station’s control infrastructure.
Supported Devices (Version 1.0)
Out of the box, version 1.0 of Station Manager supports direct control of several popular devices:
Genius Devices:
- Power Genius XL, XXL TWIN, VHF
- Tuner Genius
- Rotor Genius
- Antenna Genius
Transceivers:
- Kenwood: TS-590, TS-890
- Yaesu: FTDX101, FTDX10, FTDX3000, FTDX5000
- Icom: IC-7610, IC-7300, and others
- Elecraft: K3, K4
For radios that rely on RS232 or CI-V interfaces, the optional CAT2LAN adapter bridges the gap — enabling full network integration and acting as a band/PTT server for all Genius devices.
Designed for Expansion
Future updates will introduce support for additional devices, including:
- Amplifiers from ACOM and OM Power
- Rotor controllers (Yaesu, M2, GH, and more)
- Legacy serial-controlled hardware
- Any LAN- or serial-enabled device
The platform is designed with scalability in mind, promising long-term value and flexibility.
Hands-On Control: Buttons, Encoders, and Profiles
Station Manager isn’t just a network node — it’s a tactile interface with:
- 24 Programmable Buttons: Pre-mapped in V1.0 for Antenna Genius functions, but customizable in future releases.
- 12 Programmable Encoders: Ideal for controlling radios, rotators, or other station components.
You can also save profiles for different operating modes (FT8, SO2R, RTTY, etc.) and switch between them instantly.
Multiple Connectivity Options
You’re not locked into a single connection method. Station Manager supports:
- LAN (recommended for stability)
- Wi-Fi (for more flexible setups)
- GSM (for mobile or backup use)
Bluetooth support is on the roadmap, offering even more control options in future updates.
Coming Soon
The 4O3A Station Manager is currently in its final development phase, with Version 1.0 launching soon. Pricing and pre-order details will be announced shortly.
Whether you’re managing a competitive multi-op station or operating from the field, Station Manager brings intuitive, centralized control to every corner of your setup.
Stay tuned at 4O3A Signature for the latest updates.
