QSO One

QSO One provides software access across linked amateur systems. It is not itself an RF path; when properly configured, selected AllStar, EchoLink, YSF, M17 and other linked endpoints may terminate on amateur RF nodes and repeaters.

One interface is useful. One point of failure is not.

Broader than the formal radio doctrine.

QSO One gets a wider and more opportunistic set of favorites than the permanent FT-5DR memory doctrine. Travel hubs, repeaters, AllStar nodes, EchoLink systems, digital networks, and regional access points can be useful without earning a permanent place in the handheld.

Platform status: Windows is the current Team Stone desktop platform. iOS remains forthcoming. The Office instance is not counted as operational under the present security settings.

Digital field guides

Stop configuring by folklore.

DMR, C4FM/WIRES-X, D-STAR, NXDN, P25, M17, AllStar and EchoLink now share one K6RCS troubleshooting model: identify the layer, prove it, then move outward.
