WHY OPERATE REMOTELY?

No time to monitor bands in the shack? Too much noise on HF bands to hear weak stations? Remote control is for you!

Web Radio Control lets you:

  • Operate from anywhere using a mobile phone, a tablet or a desktop computer
    - Listen to a local roundtable when you're on the move
    - Be on the air when that rare DX you've been chasing is active
    - Easily follow band conditions for openings
  • Set up your station in a remote location with:
    - Low RF noise level so that you can hear weaker signals
    - Space for more efficient antennas
    - Unobstructed surroundings for extra antenna performance to reach DX stations
  • Set up a shared station for:
    - Amateur radio club members to access the club station
    - Newly licensed radio amateurs to get familiar with operating
    - Operators who cannot install antennas where they live

HOW WEB RADIO CONTROL WORKS?

Web Radio Control allows you to operate your station using a web browser. The actual software runs at your station on a Raspberry Pi, a credit card sized computer. You don’t need expensive radio equipment: a radio transceiver capable of computer control and a wire antenna are enough to get started!

To set up remote control, you will need only a Raspberry Pi and Internet connectivity at your station.
