The SM1000 allows you to run FreeDV without a PC. Connect the SM1000 to your SSB radio, and you now have Digital Voice (DV). You don’t have to buy a new radio to run Digital Voice! It’s based on a STM32F4 micro-controller, has a built in microphone, speaker amplifier, speaker, and transformer isolated interfaces to your radio.

The DX FT8 is a compact, multiband tablet transceiver designed for FT8 digital mode enthusiasts. Supporting five or seven HF bands, it integrates an STM32F746-based touchscreen interface for standalone operation, eliminating the need for a PC. The latest firmware (v1.9.2) adds SOTA/POTA calling and free-text messaging. Its efficient power design, unique RF amplifier, and 3D-printed case enhance portability. Open-source firmware and community-driven development make it a versatile choice for portable FT8 operation, ideal for SOTA, POTA, and travel use. DX FT8 TRANSCEIVER PROJECT is a collaboration between Charles(Charley)Hill, W5BAA and Barbaros(Barb)Asuroglu, WB2CBA.

This project uses an inexpensive Teensy microcontroller as the core of a flexible interface that provides a high-fidelity sound card and VOX functions for controlling the radio.The interface firmware supports variable VOX delay, CW and RTTY keying via audio (such as is available from Fldigi), and RTS and DTR control of any keying function, all via a single USB connection to the PC.

Zenith Tracker offers real-time satellite tracking, pass predictions, and radio hardware integration for ham radio operators. The platform includes an interactive world map showing satellite positions, footprints, and ground tracks, as well as a polar radar visualization for detailed pass analysis. Users can view upcoming passes, set filters, and receive notifications. Integration with CSN Technologies S.A.T Hardware and QTRigDoppler allows for automatic radio control, antenna tracking, and transponder management. The platform also offers APRS message interface, grid square-based location input, and API integration for rover activations. Zenith Tracker is recommended for both general users and those needing advanced hardware integration.

MLog 0.8d is a freeware logging software designed for Windows operating systems (NT, 98, ME, 2000, XP) that facilitates the logging, management, and analysis of amateur radio QSOs. It features a customizable input mask for rapid contest logging, a robust search function for existing contacts, and immediate data storage in CSV format to prevent data loss. The software also includes a double-check mechanism against reference logs during callsign entry, integrated DXCC information, and a "magic field" for streamlined data input, all within a single-window interface. Key functionalities include graphical QSL card management via _QSL-Collection_, CW output through soundcard or PC speaker, and direct access to _Radio Amateur Callbook_ data. MLog supports transceiver control via _Ham Radio Deluxe_ URLs, offers a detailed world map with locator conversions, and can launch _VOACAP_ through _HamCap_. It provides extensive data analysis options for QSLs, _Locator_ large fields, _DOKs_, _DXCCs_, QSO counts, and user-defined contest evaluations, alongside flexible import/export capabilities for various log formats.

This is a simple interface that will let you use your pc-multimedia headset on your ham rig. It’s a small plastic box with two sockets for the headset jacks.

This interface is perfect to operate the ICOM IC706 MKIIg with a pc-headset,in VOX or with PTT.

Spectrogram, a PC-based audio frequency spectrum analyzer available from Visualization Software, aids ham radio enthusiasts in aligning receivers like Elecraft K2. Versions are downloadable, with an intuitive interface and customizable parameters. Tutorials by experts like Tom Hammond and John Grebenkemper offer additional guidance.

The author discusses ways to display VHF and higher bands using a K3/10 as  transverter, NooElec Upconverter, SDR, and SDR-Console. He observed that the results were remarkable, with the tuned frequency visible at +/-100kHz. The K3 Interface Option (KXV3A) produces a buffered IF output at 8.213MHz, which is received using a NooElec NESDR SMArt SDR dongle and Ham It UP Upconverter. The SDR-Console program is utilized, with Omnirig synchronizing the SDR and K3. To configure the system, particular parameters are required, such as adjusting the IF frequency to 133.213MHz (125MHz + IF frequency) and inverting the spectrum. The Panadapter demonstrated ES activity at 10m, and modest software tweaks may be required for improved performance.
