OpenShack / Remote operation and CW
Remote radio. CW training. CW keyer.
OpenShack brings all three together.
Operate your station from anywhere in any mode. Learn and practise CW from your first character to contest speed. Use the OpenShack Box as a standalone keyer or with a paddle and footswitch for training and remote operation.
LEARN.
KEY.
Built around real operating.
Choose what you need today. Remote operation, CW learning and training, and the OpenShack Box each work on their own and fit together when you want more.
OpenShack Remote
The complete station on the PC in front of you: audio, radio control, PTT, CW, logging and station tools.
Operate anywhere → 02 / CWOpenShack CW
Learn, master and compete. Train both receiving and sending, then measure how far you have come.
Explore CW → 03 / HARDWAREOpenShack Box
CW training device, standalone keyer and WinKey replacement; also the paddle, sidetone and footswitch interface for remote operation.
Meet the Box →Set it up once. Operate it the same way everywhere.
From the next room, another city or another country, OpenShack gives you the same screen and the same functions. Even when you use another OpenShack station, you do not have to learn a different way of operating.
Your logger, digital-mode programs, paddle, microphone and footswitch work on the PC beside you. You control the radio and station equipment in OpenShack instead of through a remote Windows desktop.

Give selected operators access.
Start with your own private remote station. Later, you can let trusted friends, group members or club members operate or listen.
You remain in control
Operate while travelling or away from the shack, and keep the station private for as long as you want.
Access under your rules
Give selected friends, group members, club members or newcomers access to the same real station.
A simple station or the whole works.
OpenShack works with a compact radio and wire antenna, a multi-radio contest station or a shared club station.
One operator
Use your own station from anywhere without opening it to anyone else.
Selected operators
Give only the people you trust permission to use your private station.
A station for members
Several operators can use the same club station or listen over the Internet—with the station owner's permission.
Built by someone who knows what good radio should feel like.
Frank Grossmann, DL2CC, brings four WRTC appearances, a bronze medal, DXCC Honor Roll and decades of high-speed CW to every OpenShack product.
Contester. DXer. CW enthusiast.
OpenShack reflects operating experience at world-class contests, across the DXCC list and at IARU High Speed Telegraphy World Championships.
Remote CW since the early 2000s.
The work began with early remote-CW experiments, followed by an Arduino-based remote solution and years of development in real stations.
Your station is available wherever you are.
Start with the station you already own. Open it to yourself first—and to others only when you choose.
