About Wifi Rig CTRL

Two ways to connect: Via Raspberry Pi (Hamlib/FastAPI): CAT control for a wide range of radios, plus receive audio, CW, FT8 and APRS Direct CI-V connection: join the same Wi-Fi network as an IC-705 or IC-9700 for basic operation without a Raspberry Pi ■ Key Features Real-time display of receive frequency, mode and signal strength (S-meter) Change frequency, mode, transmit power, squelch and filter width Receive audio played through the speaker, with noise reduction PTT on/off and microphone audio transmission Wi-Fi PTT (PTT control from an external device such as an M5Atom) CW decoding of up to 5 stations at once, and CW transmission with presets and adjustable WPM BLE CW keyer support (connect a DualKey-BLE or RemoteKeyer-BLE over Bluetooth) FT8/FT4 decoding and transmission APRS beacon transmission using the phone’s GPS Multiple profiles for switching between connection targets API key authentication and remote access over WireGuard VPN ■ Requirements (Important) This app does not work on its own. You need one of the following, owned by you: A Raspberry Pi Zero 2W that is already set up (connected to your radio, with Hamlib/FastAPI installed), or An IC-705 or IC-9700 (for a direct CI-V connection) Connect either one to the same Wi-Fi network as your iPhone. Setup instructions and firmware for the Raspberry Pi are available on GitHub: https://github.com/ji1ore/M5CoreHamCAT ■ Intended Users This app is for licensed amateur radio operators who have a compatible radio setup. *This app contains no ads and no usage tracking. All data it collects is used only on your device and is never sent to an external server.

What’s new

Version 3.24 · Updated October 18, 2026

- Fixed the ! mark (rig link lost) indicator briefly appearing right after connecting (while rigctld restarts on connect, the link is treated as OK until the first reply from the rig; fixed in the Pi api.py) - The SOTA tab in MEM SET (the memory/spot panel) is temporarily hidden (SOTA logging, ADIF and the SOTA operating-location still work) - Fixed the FTX-1 built-in APRS modem bug: after starting APRS, switching AP96 -> AP12 turned the rig's BEACON TYPE OFF so APRS stopped transmitting (fixed in the Pi api.py — set commands are now sent in order using a no-reply form, eliminating the ~2 s rigctld stalls and the auto-restart that lost settings) - FTX-1 Main/Sub and ATU, and FT-991 BK-IN and ATU, now use the same method, fixing CAT stalls and command reordering - FT8: CQ auto-QSO now replies to the earliest caller when several stations answer at once; TX audio frequency is remembered per rig and per band - RTTY: wider manual tuning range, user-adjustable AUTO follow offset, and a tuning hint toward 2125 Hz - Note: this version bumps the Pi API to v3.24 — run Admin -> Update Pi (a version-mismatch notice is shown until the Pi is updated)
