N6YYO Remote Base support

N6YYO Remote Base lets you run your own amateur radio station from anywhere: receive, see the waterfall, tune, keep your log and transmit with PTT, from an iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android phone or Windows computer.

Contact us

Email leo.lebel@gmail.com. Tell us your callsign, which app and version you use (Settings shows it), and what you saw.

Try it without a radio

In the iPhone, iPad and Mac app, tap Try the demo station on the sign-in screen. It connects to a demo station we run with a simulated radio, so you can tune, watch the waterfall, log contacts and press PTT. Nothing it does reaches the air.

Getting connected to your station

• Pair: on the station, choose Pair a phone, then scan the code it shows with the app, or paste its pairing link. The device then signs itself in from then on.
• Or sign in with the station's address, your callsign and your password.
• Can't sign in? Ask a device where you are already signed in to approve this one, or, if the station has a recovery email, have a one-time sign-in code emailed to the station owner.

Common questions

The app says it can't reach the station

Check that the station computer is on and the station software is running, and that the address you entered is the one the station shows. The app tells you why it could not connect under the sign-in fields.

PTT does nothing

The microphone needs permission: on iPhone and iPad, Settings > N6YYO Remote Base > Microphone; on a Mac, System Settings > Privacy & Security > Microphone. Only one operator can transmit at a time; the app shows who holds the transmitter.

How long can I transmit?

Up to 120 seconds per press. The station also unkeys by itself if the app loses its connection, so a dropped link never leaves your transmitter on.

Is my data private?

The apps talk to your own station. See the privacy policy.
