Features

Operator benefits, not a technical checklist.

StationPilot focuses on the controls, readiness checks, spot context, and support surfaces operators reach for while SmartSDR, Maestro, or another visual client handles spectrum and audio workflows.

1. Control your station faster

Deck and command controls keep common actions close.

Use touch-friendly controls for VFO steps, bands, modes, filters, audio, AGC, memories, RX macros, diagnostics, and local queue status without digging through a full visual radio client.

  • VFO stepping
  • Band and mode presets
  • Audio and AGC controls
  • Memory workflows

2. Understand which spots matter

Spot detail turns cluster lines into decisions.

StationPilot can combine callsign, frequency, band, mode, path context, history, worked-before awareness, and Wavelog context so operators can decide quickly whether to chase a spot.

  • DX Cluster and RBN context
  • Path and history
  • Worked/confirmed awareness
  • QRZ-ready enrichment

3. Chase portable awards intelligently

Award references stay connected to the operating flow.

POTA, SOTA, WWFF, WWBOTA, Parks n Peaks, and custom reference parsing are presented as useful operator context for filtering, review, and activation chasing.

4. Keep Wavelog and QRZ context close

Configured services inform the station cockpit.

When configured by the operator, Wavelog context can help separate new, worked, and confirmed opportunities. QRZ-ready credential handling prepares callsign enrichment without putting secrets into ordinary settings exports.

  • Wavelog worked/confirmed state
  • Band and mode context
  • Credential redaction boundaries
  • Operator-configured services

5. Operate with safety-first Deck controls

Visible controls explain their state before execution.

Release-facing Deck actions report ready, disabled, blocked, or display-only behavior. TX-risk actions are hidden or blocked in the current workflow unless they are validated and explicitly available.

  • Ready
  • Disabled
  • Blocked
  • Display-only

6. Export redacted diagnostics for support

Support evidence without casually exposing secrets.

Diagnostics are designed to help with connection, parser, Deck, Wavelog, QRZ, spot, and award issues while redacting sensitive values such as tokens, keys, emails, serial numbers, and IP addresses where possible.

  • Connection state
  • Parser events
  • Deck readiness
  • Redacted exports

What StationPilot is not

StationPilot is not SmartSDR, a Maestro replacement, a panadapter, a waterfall client, a DAX/CAT tool, a digital-mode engine, or an official FlexRadio Systems product. It is a station cockpit and operator workflow layer.
