What happens after 30 days?
Your station keeps working as a full local controller: the radio, rotator, amplifier, logbook and FT8, from the station PC, and from your home network if you allow it. Reaching it from away needs a license. Nothing is deleted and nothing locks you out of your own radio.
Do I have to buy maintenance?
No. The license includes 12 months of updates and support. After that, maintenance is optional. Skip it and your station, remote access included, keeps working on the version you have. Renew later and updates resume from the newest release, with no charge for the months you skipped.
What does one license cover?
One station: the Windows PC next to your radio and the gear it controls. Sign in to it from as many of your own phones, tablets and computers as you like.
What is the weekend pass?
72 hours of remote access for a station without a license, for $9. Good for a contest weekend or a trip, without committing to a license.
What if remote access ends in the middle of a contact?
If remote access ends while you are on the air, the station treats it like any lost connection: the transmitter unkeys. Licensing never switches off a safety feature: the drop-out unkey, the one-tap stop and the amplifier band check work the same, licensed or not.
My station PC died. Do I buy again?
No. Move your license to the replacement PC yourself, once a year, from your account. If you need to move it again sooner, contact support and we'll do it.
How do I pay?
By card, through Stripe's secure checkout. We never see or store your card number. Maintenance can be billed yearly or monthly and canceled at any time.
