QRV - Ham Radio Multitool

Spots, Band Plans & Widgets

Features & Capabilities

Scout live spots for any grid before you head out with Rover Mode, plus a coax loss calculator and a CW (Morse code) page that plays any text as audio.

QRV (I am ready) is your essential ham radio multitool built for DX success and maximum operating efficiency. Stop juggling apps! QRV aggregates critical tools and reliable, fast-updated data into one single, clean platform.

Available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch.


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: Access live propagation data from HamQSL to 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.
  • My Frequencies: Save important frequencies (weekly nets, calling channels, and more) with name, mode, and notes. Synced via iCloud.
  • Comprehensive Call Sign Lookup: Search easily via QRZ and/or HamQTH.
  • QRZ QSO Confirmation: See at a glance which bands you've worked a station on.
  • DXpedition Calendar: Track active and upcoming DXpeditions worldwide — see local spots and worldwide on-air activity side by side.
  • POTA and SOTA Spots: Browse live Parks and Summits on the Air activations with band, mode, and search filters.
  • Band Plans: Detailed frequency allocations for the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
  • Glanceable data on the Apple Watch. See spots, the top bands, POTA stats, and solar conditions on your wrist.
  • Built-in Calculators: Antenna lengths (dipole, Slim Jim, J-Pole), coax & 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.
  • Full VoiceOver support and colorblind-friendly design.

Note: Full QRZ data requires an XML and/or API subscription.


PREMIUM FEATURES

  • Live Spots: Get reliable, high-speed spot delivery from PSK Reporter.
  • Rover Mode: Temporarily view live spots and band activity for any grid square without moving — widgets, Apple Watch, and alerts all follow the grid you choose, then revert automatically.
  • Customized Notifications: Set alerts for bands, DXCCs, DXpeditions, and individual callsigns with configurable thresholds.
  • Home Screen Widgets: Check band conditions at a glance without opening the app.
  • 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.
  • iCloud Sync: Your settings, favorites, and alerts sync across all your Apple devices.

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.

Your subscription is shared between all versions of the app.


Premium subscriptions help fund continued development. Subscribe if these features fit your operating style!

This app is an absolute game changer for ham radio. I have been using this app for a few months now and bought the lifetime subscription and am just beyond impressed with all of the features! The callsign alerts and band opening alerts are definitely my favorite features so far! There’s a ton of great information pages and calculators for the hard technical stuff! The app is extremely accurate and works flawlessly! I only had one issue living on the edge of Las Vegas in a grid square that’s mainly rural but there’s a grid just north of me which Las Vegas and more. Since the app relied on GPS I had to physically cross the barrier for the next grid to see activity there. I reached out to the developer and he quickly responded and added the feature “Rover Mode” which is an absolute game changer! Thank you so much for all of your hard work on this amazing app!!! - K7GIO

This app proved itself to me in the first few days of a very early version. I could see the developers trajectory clearly and was pleased to support his ongoing work! I haven’t been disappointed with his responsiveness to feedback or speed of new feature releases. I don’t want to spoil any surprises but some great stuff I asked for is on the way. And I really appreciate all the integrations and band condition info, particularly with the upcoming demise of HamClock. I know there are workaround already showing up for that but it was time to re-evaluate anyway, and I’m glad to have QRV as part of my mobile ops now.

Although what is in the app can be looked up elsewhere, having it in one place in an app I find very helpful. I got the full version right away and the rate which the app is being upgraded and enhanced shows the dedication of the developer. Nice job.
