ShackPilot: Ham Radio Remote

Control your Yaesu from the couch or across the world. Live audio, waterfall, FT8, CW & SSTV built in. No extra hardware needed. 2-week free trial.

Your shack, in your pocket. ShackPilot turns your iPhone or iPad into a wireless remote head for your Yaesu transceiver. Live audio, full CAT control, a real-time waterfall, and built-in digital modes. No network adapters, no Windows software, no extra hardware.

Run ShackPilot on the Mac that's connected to your radio via USB, then operate from anywhere: check into your favorite net from the couch, work FT8 from the backyard, or chase DX from the other side of the world over VPN.

Try everything free for 2 weeks. After the trial, ShackPilot is a simple monthly subscription which you can cancel anytime. Subscriptions fund ongoing development: new radios, new modes, and new features.
