41 features, 8 groups

Everything your station can do, from anywhere.

Each feature below ships in the current release, in every app: Windows, Android, iPhone and iPad, and Mac. Where a feature is only in some apps, its card says which.

01

Operate

The station app's controls: the dial at 14.074.00 MHz USB with 1 kHz steps either side, the step choices, Transmit tools, Listen, the volume, VOX, Play last, PTT and Tune.

Tune, mode and filters

Change frequency, mode and filter width from any signed-in device, live.

Split frequency operation

Transmit on a different frequency than you receive, for working DX and nets.

Listen on two frequencies

A second receiver alongside your main one, on radios that support it.

Switch between your station's radios

Move the rotator, amplifier and controls to a different radio with one choice.

  • Only in
  • Windows
  • Android

Memory channels

Station memories you add, edit and recall, plus the radio's own memory channels. Recalling one never transmits.

  • Only in
  • Windows
  • Android

CW and voice memories

Send typed CW and eight CW memories kept at the station, and play the radio's voice memories.

02

See the band

The station app's scope: span 192 kHz around 14.07 MHz, signals on the spectrum and the waterfall below, an S7 reading, and the Sub and Waterfall buttons.

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.

DX spots on the waterfall

See who is being heard in a list, and on radios with a scope, right where they sit on the waterfall.

Spot what you hear

Post what you're hearing to the DX cluster, previewed before it goes out, and to POTA when it has a park reference.

Scan across the band

Step through the signals on the waterfall without hunting for them by hand, on radios with a scope.

Solar and band conditions

Solar flux, K and A index, sunspots and band-by-band conditions, fetched by the station.

  • Only in
  • Windows

03

Digital modes

FT8 decode and transmit

The station decodes and sends FT8 and FT4 itself, with WSJT-X's decoder built in. Nothing else to install.

Automatic FT8 sequencing

A decode's reply carries on through the standard QSO sequence by itself.

FT8 goes out on time

Your message goes out on the station's own clock, even if your connection lags.

04

Logbook & awards

One shared logbook

Every operator logs to the same record, so nothing is split across devices.

Look up a callsign

Country, beam heading and distance fill in as you log the contact. Add your QRZ.com login for the name, and a QRZ XML subscription for the grid.

Automatic QSL confirmations

Once you add your accounts, contacts upload to QRZ.com, LoTW, Club Log and eQSL, with status on each one.

DXCC and WAS progress

Track your confirmed entities and states as they come in, counted the LoTW way.

Bring your old log with you

Import an ADIF file (.adi or .adif), including logs exported from Ham Radio Deluxe, with its own fields kept.

  • Only in
  • Windows

Export to ADIF

Download the whole log as one ADIF 3.1.4 file for any other program.

  • Only in
  • Windows

Worked before, on every spot

Each spot is marked new, worked or dupe against your log, with new countries and new bands called out.

Parks, summits and islands

Record the other station's POTA, SOTA or IOTA reference on the contact, with its format checked.

05

Antennas & amps

Point the antenna

Turn the rotator to a bearing or a logged contact, with live position shown.

Park the antenna, one tap

Send the rotator to its rest position before you sign off.

Amplifier status, watched for you

See the amplifier's power and band at a glance, read directly off amplifiers with a data link, such as the SPE Expert.

Beam to a contact

Turn the antenna toward the station you just looked up, or a spot, in one tap.

06

Safety

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.

  • Only in
  • Windows
  • Android

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.

07

Station & access

One station, every operator

Each operator signs in with their own callsign and password: listen only, transmit, or admin. Operators are added in the station's Settings, in the Windows app.

Add a device by code

Approve a new phone, tablet or PC from the station, no password to type.

Reach your station from anywhere

Your station keeps its own secure internet address, with nothing to open on your router.

Approve who joins your station

A new operator asks to join, and you decide before they get access.

08

Apps

Windows app

An installed app for the station PC and for any other PC you operate from. Close the window and it keeps running in the tray.

Native audio on Windows

The Windows app plays the radio and sends your microphone itself, for lower delay from key to air.
