Live waterfall and scope
On Icom radios with a spectrum scope, watch the band fill in real time, straight from the radio's own scope.
Remote control for your ham station
Your station, anywhere.
Operate the radio, rotator and amplifier you already own from the app on your phone, tablet or computer. Your radio’s own scope on Icom radios that have one, FT8, your logbook, and a transmitter that unkeys itself if your connection drops.
Station runs on Windows · apps for Windows, Android, iPhone, iPad and Mac
One station, every screen
The whole radio, wherever you are.
The station PC next to your radio does the work. Every signed-in device sees the same dial and the same logbook, live, and the radio’s own scope on radios that have one.
Station PC
Windows 10 or 11, next to the radio. Talks to the rig, rotator and amp, and keeps the logbook.
Windows app
An installed app for any other Windows PC, at home or away, with native audio and push-to-talk.
Android
A native app for operating on the go, with push-to-talk on the screen.
iPhone, iPad and Mac
A native app from the App Store that connects to your station.
iPhone and iPad
Point your iPhone or iPad camera at the code.
Mac
Scan to open the Mac App Store page.
How it works
One PC at home. Your apps everywhere else.
The station app runs on the Windows PC next to your radio and talks to your gear. It keeps an encrypted link out to the internet, so your apps reach it from anywhere with no router setup.
What you get
Everything the shack does, from the couch.
In every app, unless a card says otherwise.
FT8 decode and transmit
The station decodes and sends FT8 and FT4 itself, with WSJT-X's decoder built in. Nothing else to install.
Transmit stops if you drop
If your device's heartbeat stops, your audio is muted after 1.5 seconds and the transmitter unkeys about 4 seconds after the last one. A closed connection unkeys at once.
Point the antenna
Turn the rotator to a bearing or a logged contact, with live position shown.
Automatic QSL confirmations
Once you add your accounts, contacts upload to QRZ.com, LoTW, Club Log and eQSL, with status on each one.
Reach your station from anywhere
Your station keeps its own secure internet address, with nothing to open on your router.
See the band
Your radio’s own scope, in your pocket.
On radios with a spectrum scope, the waterfall you see away from home is the one on the front panel, streamed live. DX spots sit right on it. Tap a signal to tune.

Safety built in
A transmitter that knows when you’ve gone.
Remote operating means trusting a link you can’t see. So the station watches it for you, and these protections are on for every station, licensed or not.
Transmit stops if you drop
If your device's heartbeat stops, your audio is muted after 1.5 seconds and the transmitter unkeys about 4 seconds after the last one. A closed connection unkeys at once.
One tap stops any transmission
In the Windows and Android apps, when the radio transmits from anywhere else (a tune, CW, FT8 or another operator), your PTT turns red and reads STOP. One tap ends it.
Stop your own transmission
Let go of PTT, or tap it again in tap mode. A tune, CW or voice memory you started has its own stop, and a latched PTT lets go if you leave the app or lose the connection.
Amplifier band protection
Transmit is refused if the amplifier isn't confirmed set to the right band. For an amp with no data link, the station owner can choose to accept that risk instead.
- LiveKeying needs a live heartbeat from the app you are operating with.
- 1.5 sSilence mutes it. After 1.5 seconds with no heartbeat, transmit mutes.
- 4 sThe radio unkeys about 4 seconds after the last heartbeat. A closed connection unkeys it at once.
