What's New in Ham Imaging
5.0.0
October 25, 2026
Ham Imaging can now read your radio, and key it if you choose. A new Rig control (CAT) panel in Settings connects to your radio over your network — rigctld, FLRig, Icom WLAN, Kenwood KNS, an Elecraft K4, serial over TCP, TCI or the FlexRadio API — or straight over Bluetooth LE, an IC-705 for example. It stays off until you switch it on. While it is connected, the MHz box on the QSO tab and the Frequency box on Receive follow your radio by themselves, and the contact you are working takes the frequency, so every contact carries its band. Ham Imaging only reads your radio: it never changes your frequency, mode or split. Transmit keying stays VOX unless you choose CAT PTT: then Send keys the radio before the first tone and releases it when the picture ends or you stop it. The app checks that the radio really keyed and really let go, will not key a radio that is already transmitting, and releases it after the picture's own length plus 8 seconds whatever happens. Hunt on the QSO tab now starts with Their CQ, with a Listen button that works before you pick a photo: read their callsign off the decoded picture, type it in, tick the step, and Your report comes next. A new QSO Management panel in Settings opens your past contacts, exports them as ADIF or JSON for Ham Logging, another logger or a log service, and clears them after asking. Every past contact has a pencil, to correct their callsign, the reports or MHz and to add their grid as the station sent it, before you export. About has a fifth link, Licences & Notices. A tap just under a text box now reaches what you tapped, and on a small phone with the largest font a question's two buttons no longer cut the second one off. de A41UX 73
