Complete remote station control, for you and your club. Connect your station, and you're on the air.

Operate your amateur radio station from anywhere. Web Radio Control 2.0 brings your radios, rotators, amplifiers and antenna switches to any web browser, at home or on the move. Your station gets its own secure address, and the guided setup takes care of the technical side.

Set up in three steps

  1. At the station

    Station, connected

    Web Radio Control connects to your radios, rotators, amplifiers and antenna switches using a Raspberry Pi, a credit-card-sized computer.

  2. In your browser

    A guided setup

    Set up your hardware without technical complexity. Configure and test your devices, with powerful diagnostics for device connectivity.

  3. Wherever you are

    Your station's address

    Secure remote access. Reach your station at <station>.wrcs.tech from a phone, a tablet or a desktop.

For your own station, and for your club

Never miss a contact

Keep your station with you wherever you go: catch the band opening from the sofa, join the evening net from the cottage, and chase the DX you've waited for from your phone.

  • Your radios, beam, amplifier and antenna switches together
  • Operate on phone (voice), CW and digital modes
  • Spots on a map and a logbook built in

Why operate remotely

Your station belongs where the antennas work. Keep it close at hand wherever you are.

Less noise A quiet site
Town noise can often sit 3–6 S‑units above a quiet country site. That's up to 30 decibels. Hear weak stations from where the antennas work well.
3–6 S‑units
up to 30 dB
Room for antennas Any site you can reach
Raise the beam or the long wire you can't fit at home, with nothing in the way of the DX.
Bigger antennas
clear takeoff
Never miss an opening On the move
Rare DX, a band opening or the evening net: be on the air from your phone, wherever you are.

One station, many operators Clubs and new licensees
Club members and operators without antenna space get on the air from one shared station, each with their own time.
