Amateur radio app

Your radio networks, wherever you go.

HAM+ brings the amateur radio digital networks together in one app, on your phone, your tablet, your watch and even your car’s screen. An app by PLG Multiservices, made in Québec by VE2NIR, in English and French.

Free 72-hour trial, then a single purchase unlocks it for life.

What HAM+ does

One app to talk on your networks.

No hotspot or radio needed: HAM+ connects to the networks over the Internet, on Wi-Fi or cellular data. You talk with your own callsign, from home or anywhere in the world.

  • One button to talk: tap “Talk” to go on the air, tap again to hand over.
  • Your memories: one tap to switch talkgroup, node or room.
  • Who is talking: the callsign, name, location and flag of the station you hear.
  • In the car: CarPlay on iPhone and Android Auto on Android, with big, easy-to-pick buttons.
  • On your wrist: the Apple Watch app listens and talks, and connects to the networks by itself.
  • Your credentials stay with you: your network passwords are kept on your device (and your Apple Watch), encrypted, and only go to the network they belong to (for EchoLink, through the relay in use).
