RigPlane RigPlane
Pro beta · Q3 2026

Networked transceivers,
at your desk.

Direct UDP control for IP-connected ham radios — multi-vendor, low-latency, audio-first. No daemons, no vendor apps.

RigPlane operator console — dual-VFO display at 7.140 and 14.325 MHz with full-width waterfall
The gap

Most rig-control software is locked to one vendor, one OS, or both.

RigPlane runs anywhere a browser runs, speaks to four vendors out of the box, and doesn't ship from your radio's manufacturer.

What it does

Direct control of the radio. Nothing in between.

RigPlane talks to your transceiver natively — no third-party daemon, no vendor app, no hamlib bridge. One Web UI for every supported backend.

Direct

UDP, USB, or serial — straight to the rig. No wfview daemon, no hamlib, no RS-BA1 in the loop.

Multi-vendor

One interface for Icom IC-7610 and IC-7300, Yaesu FTX-1, Xiegu X6100, Lab599 TX-500. Profile-based support extends further.

Theme-tolerant

Light, dark, and amber-LCD phosphor themes. Match your shack — modern bench setup, dim contest station, or retro instrument panel.

Themes

The same app, three ways to look at it.

A capability-driven runtime renders one consistent UI across every theme and every supported backend.

RigPlane in dark theme — dual-VFO display, full-width spectrum waterfall, panadapter, S-meter readouts

Built for the desk

Dual-VFO, panadapter, waterfall — full operator console. Every control where you'd expect it.

RigPlane in amber-LCD phosphor theme — monochrome amber on near-black, retro instrument panel aesthetic

Amber-LCD phosphor

Retro-instrument theme for low-light operating positions, contest stations, and operators who like their panels to glow.

RigPlane Pro running as native desktop application — Tauri-packaged binary on macOS

Native or browser

Run as a Tauri-packaged desktop app (Pro), or in any modern browser. Same UI, same behavior.

Hardware

Supported rigs.

Production-grade backends ship with full feature coverage and CI tests against real hardware. Profile-based backends use the same runtime with a declarative capability profile.

Production-grade

  • Icom IC-7610
  • Icom IC-7300
  • Yaesu FTX-1

Profile-based

  • Icom IC-705
  • Icom IC-9700
  • Xiegu X6100
  • Lab599 TX-500
Don't see yours? Profile authoring is documented and open. New rigs land in rigplane-core as PRs.
Compatibility

Already running WSJT-X, fldigi, JS8Call?

RigPlane exposes a rigctld-compatible bridge. Your existing tools work without configuration changes.

# In your WSJT-X / fldigi / JS8Call config: Radio: Hamlib NET rigctl Network: localhost:4532 # That's it. RigPlane handles the rest.
Two ways to use it

Open core, with a paid native client.

The Python library and web UI are MIT-licensed and free. The Pro desktop app adds hardware integrations and audio handling for a perpetual fee.
