Sad, but true. There's no standardized protocol to remotely control one's rig, be it a Ham radio transceiver, a SWL receiver, any kind of scanner and other mobiles. However, some manufacturer may have designed their own proprietary protocol, implemented in some of their product family. Therefore, each rig family will require a Hamlib backend to set the VFO frequency, change mode and passband width, get current signal strength, etc.
If you are developing a Hamlib backend for a remote controllable radio, we would be grateful if you could inform us of updates (via the Hamlib mailing-list) to the backend so we can keep this page up to date. If you have been in contact with a manufacturer asking for programming information and been turned down let us know and we will update the page. If you are a manufacturer and don't like the fact that you are listed as red, then you know what to do. You may be interested to know that this site is getting well over 50 unique visitors per day. Not much yet, but still potential customers per year you could be losing out on.
The following is a key to the colour coding in the tables.
| The rig listed should function with few problems. | |
| Although a driver is in development, it is either not available yet or still in an alpha state and might not work for you. | |
| This manufacturer refuses to release documentation, or documentation is only available from user manual. If you own such a rig and want to see supported the models listed, please provide the Hamlib team with the protocol documentation or consider joining the development team. | |
| No backend currently exists. It is unknown whether the manufacturer will provide the documentation needed to write a driver. |
Below is a list of models from different manufacturers and the status of any support that is available with Hamlib that we have complied. This list is by no means complete or necessarily accurate. However any information that could be used to expand the scope and accuracy of this page will be greatly appreciated.
If you don't see your favorite radio in this list, please feel free to contact the Hamlib mailing-list and ask kindly for support.
The list of supported radios can also be represented in a busy table: rigmatrix.
