Amazing Open Source Software

Incredible value for the price. Very easy to get up and running. Rarely have I had the experience where the app works with the default settings. Impressive stuff

Absolute Game Changer

Being able to FULLY control my icom 7300 from anywhere in the world is an absolute game changer. On lunch at work… make a POTA contact. Sitting in bed… run some FT8. Road trip… play some radio.

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind words! 73s

Just Works!

For the vast majority of my experience with this application, I have been immensely impressed with the ease of use and the functionality.

I have been getting contacts from my phone, both at home and away and it’s really given me a new appreciation for the radio art.

Response from developer

Love to hear it, Luther. Thank you for the review.

WOW!!

Excellent app! Definitely worth the purchase—you won’t regret it!

Thank you! dit dit

Software for the Future, NOW!

Why couldn’t this software been around when I first got my no code license. It makes my Yaesu FT857D work like a Flex radio. I can set in my easy chair and make a QSO from my IPad, IPhone, Android, or many other devices.

Response from developer

My first radio was the 857D and I miss it! I'm thrilled you're having so much fun with it using ECHOCAT.
