What's New in HAMSignal

3.9

October 25, 2026

3.9 brings everything new since 3.7. PRO, NEW WAYS TO GET IT • Pro is now $9.99 a year with a 14-day free trial for new subscribers, or buy Lifetime once. The paywall shows the trial day by day, and you get a reminder on day 12. • Bought Pro or the paid app before? You keep Pro, with everything new below, and there is nothing to do. • Installed HAMSignal before this version? Widgets and the Apple Watch app stay free for you. On new installs they are part of Pro. • Redeem an offer code from the Pro screen or Settings. ALERTS • Your existing alerts keep working as before. Band alerts still use the solar forecast (SFI and K-index) unless you choose measured in a band's options. • New: measured band alerts, a choice in each band's options, count the stations that receivers near you decode on PSK Reporter. They need active receivers in your area. With Pro, pick continents or DXCC entities. • New in Pro: alerts for 6m and 2m openings, aurora on VHF, storm and HF radio blackout heads-ups, POTA activators, and a new continent or DXCC entity hearing you. • DX spot alerts (Pro) now also use DX cluster spots while DX > Spots is connected, and PSK Reporter on any screen and in background refreshes. Each says how old its spot is, and you can edit an existing DX alert. • Alert controls (Pro): quiet hours, end dates, distance filters and alert sounds. • Alerts with the app closed depend on background refreshes, which iOS schedules, so they are likely, not guaranteed. Settings > Alert timing shows how late yours arrive. ALSO NEW IN PRO • Path planner: likely openings over the next 48 hours to the places you pick, and a notification 30 minutes before (a model estimate) • Saved locations and Rover mode • Heard map with up to 30 days of history • LoTW confirmations in Awards • Morning briefing notification and widget • Live Activities for an operating session and a greyline countdown • Shack display, and a Shack widget for StandBy FREE FOR EVERYONE • A VHF card on Conditions for 6m, 2m, aurora and the Es season • POTA activator spots in DX > POTA • Your DXCC, state and grid counts on the Awards screen • Still free: live conditions, forecasts, the grey line and propagation maps, DX cluster spots, APRS, satellites, repeaters, who heard you in the last hour, every tool except award tracking, unlimited logging, one band alert, one custom space-weather alert and the four built-in ones Use HAMSignal on more than one device with iCloud? Update them all to 3.9. An older version can drop the QSL received marks that 3.9 reads from imported logs. If Pro doesn't show, tap Restore Purchases on the Pro screen.
