Rig control

Built-in CAT, native Icom CI-V and a Hamlib relay for WSJT-X and JTDX, with no port conflicts.

Rig control

Your radio, controlled from RadioLog

Reads and changes frequency, mode and band without touching the radio; the logbook and the digital modes use them.
Three connection methods depending on your radio; pick the one that suits you best.
The Hamlib relay lets WSJT-X and JTDX share the control, without fighting over the port.

RigControl: VFO, band and mode in real time.

What it includes

For Yaesu (FT-991A, FTDX10, FT-710…) and Icom with native CI-V. All you need is the USB cable.

Hamlib is included: FT-817/818, FT-857, FT-897 and Xiegu radios (G90, X6100…), with nothing to install.

Initial SmartSDR CAT support: frequency, mode and RX/TX status of VFO A.

They connect to RadioLog's relay (localhost:4532) instead of the radio, and there are no conflicts.
