QRV (I am ready) is your essential ham radio multitool, built for DX success and maximum operating efficiency. Stop juggling apps! QRV brings critical tools and reliable, fast-updated data together in one clean platform.
No ads. Optional free sign-in keeps your devices in sync.
QRV is designed to get you the information you need quickly, whether you are in the field or at the shack:
- Real-time Band Conditions: Live propagation data from HamQSL, so you can find the optimal frequency.
- Universal Search: Look up a callsign, jump to a DXCC entity by name or prefix, or check your band plan for a frequency - all from one place.
- Cross-Device Sync: Favorites, frequency memories, settings and alerts follow you to every device you sign in on - free.
- My Frequencies: Save important frequencies - weekly nets, calling channels and more - with name, mode, and notes.
- Comprehensive Callsign Lookup: Search easily via QRZ and/or HamQTH.
- QSO Confirmation: See at a glance which bands you have worked a station on, from your QRZ logbooks or Wavelog.
- DXpedition Calendar: Track active and upcoming DXpeditions worldwide, with local spots and worldwide on-air activity side by side.
- POTA Spots: Browse live Parks on the Air activations with band, mode, and search filters.
- Band Plans: Detailed frequency allocations for 22 countries across North America, Europe, Africa, and Oceania - in English and in a native language.
- Propagation Compass: See which directions are open from your grid square.
- Built-in Calculators: Antenna lengths (dipole, Slim Jim, J-Pole), coax and feedline loss, battery runtime, and power calculations.
- Beginner-Friendly Reference: Q-codes, CW (Morse code) with audio, prosigns, RST, APRS commands, Maidenhead grids, and more.
- Material You theming, with condition colours chosen to stay readable for colourblind operators.
Note: Full QRZ data requires an XML and/or API subscription.
PREMIUM FEATURES
- Live Spots: Reliable, high-speed spot delivery from PSK Reporter, showing what is being heard near you right now.
- Rover Mode: Temporarily view live spots and band activity for any grid square without moving - alerts follow the grid you choose, then revert automatically.
- Lightning Proximity Alerts: Get warned when lightning is detected near your station so you can disconnect in time - fixed location or GPS-following, with an adjustable radius.
- Customized Notifications: Set alerts for bands, DXCCs, DXpeditions, and individual callsigns with configurable thresholds.
- DXpedition Alerts: Get notified when your tracked DXpeditions are spotted.
- Callsign Alerts: Get notified when a specific callsign is spotted from your location.
- Logbook-Aware Alerts: DXCC and Callsign alerts auto-manage based on your QSO/QSL history from Wavelog or QRZ Logbook.
Why Premium? These features require robust infrastructure:
- I run dedicated servers to aggregate PSK Reporter data, process notifications, serve band conditions, and provide DXpedition info.
- This delivers faster, more reliable data than direct API polling while being a good steward to upstream services like N1DQ's PSK Reporter.
- Premium subscriptions help cover ongoing server and infrastructure costs.
Try Premium free for 14 days.
