The full story
HAM Radio Control is a free station program by Alessandro IA5KRO, a radio amateur and web designer on Elba, built with Claude. It runs radios from a browser, with a Go backend, on Windows, Linux and Raspberry Pi 4 and 5.
It controls Icom IC-7300, IC-7610 and IC-705 and Yaesu FT-710 and FT-991 rigs over USB CAT or Icom's network protocol, and hundreds of others through Hamlib. It adds an S-meter, waterfall, decoders for FT8, FT4, WSPR, RTTY, PSK, CW, SSTV and APRS, and a logbook.
It also includes MesNet, a new keyboard digital mode for chat over the air with groups, private messages and file transfer, whose speed adapts to the signal on HF. The source code is included under the GPLv3.
