Everything in one app
Built for the way hams actually operate
From your first key-up to your hundredth contact, QSL Connect keeps the network, your log and your station conditions at your fingertips.
Talk & listen on BrandMeister
Join any talkgroup, scan others, make private calls and push-to-talk straight from your computer or phone.
See who’s on the air
A live caller card shows DMR ID, callsign, name, location and flag, with a searchable last-heard list.
Logbook & statistics
ADIF-compatible logging, QSO marking and notes, plus stats for countries, states and your farthest contact.
Live map
See heard stations plotted with range rings, a heat map and period filters, with distance and bearing.
Nets & alerts
Schedule nets with reminders and check-in lists, set a watch list for callsigns, and silence it all with quiet hours.
Weather & conditions
Local forecast, sunrise and sunset, and NOAA space weather beside your radio, so you know what the bands are doing.
Get on the air
Up and running in three steps
Install
Download QSL Connect for Windows, or install it from Google Play on your Android phone.

Connect and talk
