QSO One

QSO One — One App, Many Networks

What is QSO One?
QSO One is a free internet voice client for licensed amateur radio operators, developed by Francesco “Frank” Catena, KD8JKK.

Instead of juggling a different program for every network, QSO One brings them together in one app:

  • AllStarLink
  • EchoLink
  • IAX Direct
  • DMR — BrandMeister and TGIF
  • Yaesu System Fusion (YSF)
  • M17

It also includes a searchable talkgroup catalog, live last-heard view, Net Finder, QSO logging with ADIF export, callsign lookup, and received-audio recording.

What you don’t need — and what you do need
You don’t need a hotspot, a dedicated Raspberry Pi, or a digital handheld just to connect through QSO One’s software.

You do need a valid amateur license and callsign, a free QSO One account created with your callsign at qso1.net, and any account or ID your chosen network requires — for DMR, that means a DMR ID and your network credentials.

QSO One connects over the internet. It does not turn a computer into an RF DMR transmitter.

It’s available for Windows and Android — check qso1.net for current downloads and other platforms.
