Everything you reach for at the radio

Remote amateur radio station control that isn't a viewer or a remote desktop. A console built for operating, that feels at home on a phone and scales up to a laptop.

Full radio control

Frequency, a second VFO for split, a centered or fixed scope, mode, filters and filter width, twin PBT, notch, RIT, RF gain, power, preamp, attenuator, AGC, noise blanker and noise reduction levels, squelch, the speech compressor and the antenna tuner.

Live spectrum scope

Your radio's own scope and waterfall, streamed to your screen. Tap a signal to tune straight to it.

Two-way audio

Low-latency receive audio and push-to-talk transmit from your device's microphone or headset, chosen right in the console.

Tune like a knob

Drag to tune, pick your step size, jump bands with a band stack that remembers where you were.

Install as an app

Add your station to your home screen and it opens full screen, like a native app. No app store needed.

Your own address

Your station lives at yourcall.remotemyshack.com. Bookmark it and you're one tap from your shack.

Amplifier, tuner, antennas and rotor

See your PowerGenius XL's or OM Power amplifier's power, SWR and temperature and switch it to Operate, check and bypass your Tuner Genius XL, pick antennas on your Antenna Genius (and name them and set their bands from the setup page, or use it as a radio selector to flip a radio between the antenna and a dummy load), switch antennas and station power with a Waveshare relay board, and see each radio's signal path from the radio to the antenna, live, and turn your beam with a click on the compass, right in the console. On Shack and Super Station.

Several radios

Run all the radios at your station from one shack computer and pick one from the list. Super Station covers them all.

Logbook, map and awards

Import your log as ADIF, log contacts from the console with a QRZ.com lookup and your earlier contacts as you type the call (on Super Station, with a recording of each one to play back later), see them on a world map with the grayline, see who you're about to log on a live map with the weather and the Reverse Beacon skimmers hearing you or them, bring in your LoTW log and confirmations by themselves, upload new contacts to LoTW signed by TQSL at the shack, and follow your DXCC and Worked All States progress by band and mode.

DX cluster spots

Live spots from the cluster node you choose, marked when it's a new country or a new band for you. Tap one to tune.

Your station page

Visitors to your address see your bio, photos, location and what you're on, and can ask you for a contact. On Shack and Super Station, they can click Listen Live to hear the radios you choose, with no account and no control.

Transmit log

Every transmission through RemoteMyShack is recorded: when, where, how long and by whom. Download it any time.

CW, RTTY, PSK, SSTV and FT8

Type CW or RTTY or fire off memories with F1 to F8, and read the band with the built-in CW, RTTY and PSK31 decoders. Receive SSTV pictures as they arrive and send your own, with your call on it. CW goes out through your radio's own keyer. On Super Station, operate FT8: see every station on the band, decoded at the shack and colored by what it adds to your DXCC, answer one with a click, and have the contact made and logged for you. FT4 and WSPR beacons are decoded at the shack too.

RADE digital voice

On Super Station, listen and talk on FreeDV's RADE digital voice with any radio: the console decodes it into clear speech and encodes your voice as you hold to talk. Nothing to install at the shack.

Talk to a real ham

Chat with support from your account. On Super Station, if it's easier to talk it through, we'll call you right there in the browser.

Transmit safety, built in

A remote transmitter has to fail safe. RemoteMyShack's agent at your shack watches every transmission.

  • Dropped connection? It unkeys. If the agent stops hearing from your device, the radio unkeys within about a second.
  • Transmit time limit. Long transmissions time out automatically, so a stuck button can't keep you on the air.
  • Leave the page, stop transmitting. Switching apps, locking your phone or closing the tab releases push-to-talk.
  • One operator at a time. If a second device tries to transmit while you are, it's refused.

Operate your ham radio station remotely in three steps

  1. Install the agentA small program for the Mac, Windows or Linux computer, or Raspberry Pi, next to your radio. It finds the radio on your network for you.
  2. Link it to your accountThe agent opens the link page for you: one click to approve. No router settings, no firewall rules, no static IP, no dynamic DNS.
  3. Operate from anywhereOpen yourcall.remotemyshack.com, sign in with your passkey and you're at the radio.

Private and secure by design

Your station is yours. Only your account can operate it.

  • Passkeys, not passwords. Sign in with Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello or your phone. There's no password to steal or reuse.
  • Direct and encrypted. Control and audio travel straight from your device to your shack over an encrypted connection whenever the network allows, and through an encrypted relay when it doesn't.
  • Nothing open on your network. The agent only makes outgoing connections. There are no ports to forward and nothing for scanners to find.
  • Your radio's settings stay home. Radio passwords are stored only on the shack computer.

Experience from running 50+ remote stations around the globe for over 15 years

  • Experience you can lean on. Everything we've learned keeping remote stations on the air, from fail-safe transmitting to finding a radio again when the router gives it a new address, is built into RemoteMyShack.
  • New features all the time. New versions come out every week, and your agent installs them by itself when no one is using the station. Recent ones brought a second VFO for split, filter and DSP controls, FT4 and WSPR decoding, and RADE digital voice.
  • Professional cloud hosting. The service runs on Amazon Web Services, with encrypted storage and daily backups of your account and logbook.
  • Built to stay up. The service is monitored around the clock and recovers by itself if its hardware fails. Your station's safety never depends on it: the agent at your shack unkeys the radio on its own if the connection drops.

Remote operating questions

Do I need to open ports on my router?

No. The agent at your shack connects out to RemoteMyShack, and your phone or laptop connects to your station from anywhere, including cell networks and hotel Wi-Fi. There's nothing to configure on your router.

What do I need at the shack?

A supported radio, on your home network or plugged into the computer by USB, and a computer that stays on near it: a Mac, a Windows or Linux PC, or a Raspberry Pi. The agent is small, runs quietly in the background and can start by itself when you log in.

Do I need to install anything on my phone?

No. RemoteMyShack runs in your phone's browser. You can add it to your home screen so it opens like an app.

Who is allowed to operate?

You, as the station's licensee and control operator. You're responsible for operating within your license privileges, exactly as you are when you're sitting at the radio.

What happens if my connection drops while I'm transmitting?

The agent at your shack expects to hear from your device several times a second while you transmit. If it stops, it unkeys the radio within about a second.

How much data does it use?

Away from the shack, receive audio is compressed to about 15 MB an hour; the spectrum scope adds about 30 MB an hour more. Any Wi-Fi or 4G/5G connection handles it easily. On the shack's own network, and while you use RADE digital voice, audio isn't compressed (about 120 MB an hour).

Will RemoteMyShack be around for the long term?

Yes. The team behind it has run 50+ remote stations around the globe for over 15 years, and RemoteMyShack gets new features every week. The service runs on Amazon Web Services with encrypted storage and daily backups, and your radio settings and passwords stay on your own shack computer.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time, from your account. You keep access until the end of the period you've paid for.

Do you have a referral program?

Yes. Share your link from your account: hams who join with it get a 30-day free trial instead of 14, and when one subscribes, you get a month free. Up to 12 free months a year.
