Ham Radio Bank is the all-in-one toolkit for amateur (ham) radio operators — the Swiss army knife that gathers everything you reach for into a single app. Many tools work 100% offline, and the whole app is available in 14 languages. ONLINE TX/RX — DMR & ECHOLINK • TRANSMIT and receive over the internet with no radio at all: press to talk on BrandMeister DMR talkgroups and in EchoLink rooms. • DMR: thousands of talkgroups, search, favourites and a live talker list. • EchoLink: rooms and stations worldwide, each showing free or busy. • Replay the last five transmissions and share them. • Requires a licence, plus a DMR ID and an EchoLink account. MORSE TRAINER • Convert text to Morse and back, decode Morse from your microphone or camera, and practice with drills. REFERENCE • Q codes, NATO phonetic alphabet, callsign prefixes, band plans and frequency charts — always in your pocket. REPEATERS — 21,000+ WORLDWIDE • Search a global directory of repeaters by band, frequency or location; see azimuth and how to connect. • Sort by nearest to you, with distance badges. LIVE SATELLITES & SPACE • Track amateur satellites live (frequencies, AOS/LOS passes, ground track); follow ISS and Tiangong passes. • Satellite sight: point your phone at the sky and see where the bird is, with live Doppler readout. • Weather Image: satellite cloud views for 7 world regions — day/night blend, true colour and infrared. TECHNICAL TOOLS • Antenna length, SWR, Ohm's law, ERP/EIRP, Maidenhead grid, radio horizon, voltage drop and RF safety calculators. • DTMF terminal (decode + send with macros), barometer with tropo hints, 1750 Hz + CTCSS tone generator, audio cleaner and QRM hunter. MARINE • Cardinal buoy decoder and handy marine references. QSL & LOGBOOK • Keep a QSO logbook, design QSL cards and export/back them up as PDF. • My QSO Map: every contact on the world map — stats, your farthest QSO and a PDF report. • ADIF import/export: move your log between desktop programs and services like LoTW/eQSL. • SWL Listener Center: listening log and elegant confirmation cards — no license needed. MAPS & PROPAGATION • Azimuth map with a live day/night gray-line layer, HF propagation (MUF/solar) and live worldwide propagation data. • Fox hunt: find hidden transmitters by bearing triangulation; grid reticle overlays Maidenhead borders on your camera. WEBSDR & FT8 • Tune public SDR receivers over the internet. • FT8 radar: decode FT8 traffic with the microphone, 100% offline. APRS • Live map, position beacon and messaging tools for APRS. SSTV — IMAGE ↔ AUDIO • Turn an image into sound and transmit it, and decode incoming SSTV; multiple modes, callsign stamp, save and share. WORKSHOP — DO IT YOURSELF • Build-it-yourself guides for antennas, repeaters, radios and more, with clear step-by-step instructions. A searchable User Guide explains every screen in plain language, and the in-app release history shows what's new. Many modules run 100% offline, so they work in the field with no signal. Available in 14 languages. Unlock every advanced module and remove ads with a PRO membership. A free tier keeps the core tools available to everyone.
