qrh-OS

Your Ham Radio World,
Inside Windows.

An application that works like an operating system inside your Windows 10 or 11 system. It does not change your system settings: it adds a virtual desktop with utilities for amateur radio operators and an integrated CAT radio system.

Why an Operating System?

Because qrh-OS brings radio utilities, live maps, web pages, audio and video players, and DX tools together in one focused environment. Everything runs in a single window inspired by classic Windows systems—directly on your Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC.
