HamSphere Features
We've designed HamSphere to simulate a real shortwave Amateur Radio Station. No installation of antennas, cables or amplifiers necessary. Accessible anywhere, anytime, on any device. It has all the features you need.
Virtual Ionosphere
HamSphere simulates a real Ionosphere with radio wave propagation, fading and distortion. Signals are bounced off a virtual Ionosphere and reflected to distant parts of the world. Listen to an audio clip from HamSphere and its "Shortwave" sound.
11 Virtual bands
Nine virtual Ham Radio bands including 6,10,15,17,20,30,40,80 and 160 meters. We have also included an 11 meter CB band.
Double Sideband Modulation
The HamSphere transmitter works in DSB mode (Double Sideband Modulation) with a virtual power between 1 - 2500 Watts. Received bandwidth can be adjusted to 3.8, 2.8 and 0.8 kHz with the standard filters.
Radio Instrumentation
The HamSphere transceiver comes with an FFT-based bandscope (Spectrum Analyzer), Analog S-meter and a digital VFO with 10 hz increments. The system has also 9 programmable memory channels.
Audio processing
Built in powerful Microphone processor including VOX which can be programmed for all voice types.
DX Cluster / Log book
Locate any stations in real time with the DX-Cluster. Log contacts with just two clicks in the built in log book and send QSL cards as easy.
Transceiver Chat
The chat feature will enable you to send small text messages across the network. You can also send private messages to other operators.
Edit QSL card templates
Fully supported WYSIWIG editor. Just upload a picture, drag and drop the fields and your QSL template is ready to use.
Send QSL cards
Send QSL cards from your transceiver directly. You can edit any number of QSL card templates that can be used to send auto filled in cards.
iPhone and Android apps
iPhone and Android apps are included in the subscription. Use HamSphere mobile like a Walkie-Talkie. Download from App store or Android market.
Digital / Analog SSTV
Use HamSphere full bandwidth mode and transmit analog and digital SSTV (Slow Scan Television). HamSphere has dedicated the entire 30 meter band for SSTV activity. Download SSTV Software here
