HAM Xpress ist eine App für PC und mobile Geräte. Als Amateurfunk-Logbuchprogramm ist sie insbesondere nützlich für YLs und OMs, die wenig oder keine Erfahrung mit Logbuchprogrammen haben oder die "mal schnell" stationär oder mobil einige QSOs eintragen wollen zur Weiterleitung an ein anderes Logbuchprogramm. Ganz bewußt ist diese Anwendung darum auf Schnelligkeit und Einfachheit ausgelegt, ohne auf die von ARCOMM gewohnte Professionalität zu verzichten.
