Channel programming
Configure, import, export and drag & drop channels to build the perfect layout for how you actually operate.
A free, open-source EchoLink and Internet APRS software that supports Benshi radios. Program channels, chat over APRS, send Winlink email, track satellites and more.
Winlink email over packet radio and the Internet
From everyday channel programming to packet data and RF experiments, HTCommander brings your whole station to whatever device you're on.
Configure, import, export and drag & drop channels to build the perfect layout for how you actually operate.
Send and receive APRS, set routes, text real phones over SMS, request weather and send authenticated messages.
See every station at a glance on an OpenStreetMap-powered map, with position history and station detail.
Send and receive email across the global Winlink network — attachments included — right from the radio.
Talk in packet mode to other stations, users and BBSes, with a built-in address book for quick access.
Run a lightweight bulletin board that doubles as a Winlink gateway for stations that reach you.
Many-to-many file transfer over 1200-baud FM-AFSK, so a whole net can share a file at once.
Capture and decode packets with the built-in analyzer to see exactly what's on the air.
Listen and transmit through your computer's audio, auto-detect incoming SSTV and drag & drop images to send.
Convert speech-to-text and text-to-speech to send and read messages hands-free.
See what's overhead and coming up, get live azimuth, elevation and pass times, and let HTCommander handle Doppler for you.
Thanks to built-in EchoLink and APRS-IS support, you can run HTCommander fully over the internet today — no radio required — then add a Benshi radio whenever you're ready. And Benshi doesn't only make handhelds: HTCommander works just as well with their mobile and base units.
Supported Benshi radios — handhelds, mobiles & base
HTCommander does not collect, store or transmit any personal data. Permissions like Bluetooth and microphone are used only to talk to your radio — everything stays on your device.
