Radios
We have several remote stations running OpenShack with the Icom IC-7760, Elecraft K3, Kenwood TS-890S and Icom IC-7300.
OpenShack uses Hamlib for radio control across a broad range of modern transceivers. Available control functions depend on the model. OpenShack adds its own control extensions. Waterfall display uses separate integrations for selected Icom, Kenwood and FlexRadio models.
The host also needs a receive and transmit audio connection through the radio’s native USB audio or an existing station interface. See the host-station requirements →

Antennas and rotators
OpenShack has direct integrations for the UltraBeam RCU-06 and SteppIR SDA 100 / SDA 2000. Up to four rotators can be connected through PSTROTATORAZ, covering the rotator models supported by that software.
Other network-controlled equipment
Generic URL commands can operate relays, antenna switches, smart plugs and similar network devices. This makes simple station functions available without requiring a dedicated driver for every switch.
Confirm your setup
Email support@openshack.com with your transceiver, audio interface, station accessories and the functions you want to control. We can help you check the connections and model-specific capabilities before you buy. If a new integration is needed, available protocol documentation is useful.
