HAMQ vs CloudSatellite

HAMQ is a field-ready amateur radio toolkit for FT8 operation, satellite tracking, SSTV, and everyday QSO logging. It combines radio workflows, AI-assisted log entry, QSL exchange, and LoTW-ready record management in one app. Main features: - FT8 workbench: receive and decode signals in real time, inspect the spectrum waterfall and decoded messages, follow standard QSO workflows with transmit controls and automation, and save completed contacts to the log. On-air operation requires a compatible external radio and the appropriate audio and control equipment. - Satellite tracking: calculate passes with SGP4, view azimuth and elevation, and follow LEO or GEO satellites with pointing guidance. - SSTV tools: decode live audio or local files, recognize common modes such as Scottie, Robot and PD, and create SSTV images from templates. - Smart QSO logbook: record daily contacts, portable operations, and satellite QSOs with callsign, frequency, mode, report, time, and grid locator fields. - AI-assisted entry: extract key QSO details from voice or text to speed up mobile and field logging. - ADIF and GridTracker workflows: import, export and connect logs with common amateur radio software workflows. - QSL and LoTW: manage Email QSL, card exchange status, LoTW settings and confirmation progress. - Exam preparation: practice questions and mock exams for China’s Class A, B, and C amateur radio examinations. This feature is available only in the app’s Simplified Chinese interface. Enable it and select an exam class in “My.” HAMQ is built for radio amateurs who want a compact, practical tool for FT8 operation, satellite tracking, SSTV decoding, and organized QSO records. 73!

CloudSatellite brings satellite pass predictions, live tracking, antenna rotator control, radio frequency coordination and audio decoding together for satellite observers and amateur radio operators. SATELLITE LOOKUP AND PASS PREDICTIONS Find satellites by name or NORAD ID and view orbital information and amateur radio frequencies. Predict pass times, duration, azimuth and maximum elevation for your observing location. LIVE POSITIONS AND TRACKING Use the orbit map and sky view to follow satellite positions, paths and directions relative to your location. ROTATOR AND RADIO CONTROL Connect compatible antenna rotators, amateur radio transceivers or SDR devices for manual control and automatic tracking. Coordinate uplink and downlink frequencies and compensate for Doppler shift as the satellite moves. NEW: CUSTOM EPHEMERIS Import TLE and OMM JSON orbital data and manage custom ephemeris for satellite lookup, position calculations and tracking plans. NEW: SSDV AUDIO DECODING Receive live audio or process audio files to decode supported SSDV signals and reconstruct images for viewing and further processing. AUDIO AND SIGNAL TOOLS On supported devices and connections, view audio spectra and waterfall displays, record audio, and send, receive and manage SSTV images. PERSONAL SETTINGS Save favorite satellites and customize observing locations and prediction ranges. Available in Simplified Chinese, English, Japanese, Spanish, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian and French. Equipment control and audio features require compatible hardware and connection settings. Availability depends on the device and platform.
