More than rig control

Modern amateur radio stations contain far more than a transceiver. Amplifiers, rotators, antenna switches and network-connected equipment all form part of the operating environment.

QSO Director is designed to control the station as a whole. Hardware state is integrated with the rest of the application, allowing your logging, operating and station-control tools to work together rather than as separate utilities.

Radio Control

Frequency, mode, VFOs, meters and radio capabilities

Amplifier Control

Monitor and control compatible amplifiers

Rotator Control

Point antennas and track azimuth/elevation

Antenna Switching

Control station antenna switching and routing

One application. One station.

Everything working together

Radio state throughout QSO Director

Frequency, mode and other radio information is available to the tools that need it.

Multiple devices, multiple controllers

Add control tools to your workspace and arrange them around the way you operate.

Local and network-connected hardware

Bring serial, USB and network-connected station equipment into the same environment.

Built for station automation

A shared view of live hardware state provides the foundation for increasingly capable station automation.

Station control where you need it

Station control isn't confined to a separate configuration screen. Controllers are available as QSO Director tools that can become part of your operating workspace.

Connect the way your station does

From traditional serial CAT interfaces to modern network-connected radios and station equipment, QSO Director supports a growing range of connection methods and protocols.

USB

Serial

LAN

Wi-Fi

Designed for the hardware, not just the lowest common denominator

Different radios and station devices expose very different capabilities. QSO Director's hardware integrations are designed around what each device can actually do, allowing the application to expose richer controls where the hardware supports them.

That can include capabilities such as network control, spectrum data, multiple VFOs, meters and device-specific functions.

Your station isn't tied to one operating system

Use the same QSO Director station-control environment whether your shack computer runs Windows, macOS or Linux.

Does QSO Director support your station?

QSO Director supports radios, amplifiers, rotators and antenna switching hardware from a growing range of manufacturers, with support for USB, serial and network-connected equipment.

QSO Director is developed using real amateur-radio hardware and shaped by decades of operating and software-engineering experience. Station control isn't an add-on - it's a core part of the architecture.

Built for real stations

Development is guided by a multi-year product strategy covering the capabilities and foundations QSO Director will need as it continues to grow.

Short-term decisions are considered against that longer-term direction, while pragmatic decisions are made where they're necessary to deliver useful capabilities today.

The intention is straightforward: to continue developing QSO Director for many years and build a sustainable software company dedicated to producing exceptional products for radio amateurs.
