Welcome to the SCARS Website

Here's a list of Ham Radio Software that I came across on Wilipedia. There's lots of software for several different platforms. it includes Paid software, GPL software and Freeware. Enjoy!

UPDATED (March 14, 2026 @ 11:30 hrs) : Work is under way to keep current installs of HamClock 4.22 up and running. The first fix that has been provided is a very simple edit to the "hosts" file on your computer. Here is the link to the website that will guide you through the fix.

Keeping HamClock Alive

I have HamClock running on a Raspberry Pi computer and a couple of different distros of Linux and as of this post, all of the functionality seems to have been restored to normal.

Here is a link to download HamClock 4.22 (last release)
Download Hamclock 4.22 (for Ubuntu / Debian distros)
Download Hamclock 4.22 (for Rasp Pi Only)   ADDED

Updated: March 13, 2026 @ 11:25 Both of the above files are HamClock v4.22! I downloaded them directly from the original HamClock website. I have installed it on a Linux PC and it works just fine. You still need to make the change to the hosts file.

Not New but Simon's World Ham Clock is a program that you can download and run on your PC. In addition to the Geo Chron style maps and info, Simon's World Ham Clock also provides contol for some antenna rotors. This will be the program to watch. for a complete discription of this program, go to their website using the link below.

As of this posting, all these programs appear to be FREE except for Time Mapper UHD (listed below). Otherwise, some may ask for a volutary donation.

Open HamClock is a web based Hamclock type of program which means that it will run on most any computer without the need to compile the app. It actually has a few more features than the original HamClock.

This is definitely worth looking at! It's well writen and ready to go.

HamTab is a web based Ham Clock type of program which means that it will run on most any computer without the need to compile the app. It actually has a few more features than the original HamClock.

This is definitely worth looking at! It's well written and ready to go.

DX Clock is a web based program that is similar to the other programs available. I am not sure if the cell phone / tablet version will continue to be supported, Otherwise, it is a very nice program and well woth taking a look at it. I didn't do any extensive testing so I don't have any further comments.

Having said all this, I think it would still be worth looking at! I would think it would work good on a tablet for remote operations.

Ham Vsion is a web based Geo Clock program in the making. When I tried it I could not find a way to insert my callsign and configure it for my area / location. I wasn't able to do any more than try it as is but it has some VERY GOOD potential. So at this poing I don't have any other comments.

Might be worth watching this one for new updates and releases.

The Holy Cluster is another web based Hamclock type of program. It will run on most any computer using the web browser so you do not need to compile the app. It appears to have a few of the same features as the original HamClock but visually it is quite different.

I haven't looked into this program much. Based on what I saw, it appears to be well written with lots of features.

HamDash.app is another web based Hamclock type of program and it will run on most any computer using your web browser. It appears to be much different that the others. I did notice that it included a weather radar for your area based on your call sign.I looked into this program a lttle because at first glance it was definitely different. Based on what I saw, it appears to be well written with lots of features but it is not like the others HamClock programs.

HamClock Next v1.4 is another Hamclock type of program but it has been rewritten as a Windows / Mac / Linux app. For this reason it should run on most any computer. It appears to be very similar to the original HamClock with a lot more functionality. I installed and ran the program. Even though it is similar to the original HamClock, there are visibly a lot of differences.Based on what I have seen after a quick look, it appears to be well written with lots of features but it is definitely in the early stages of development but has a lot of potential.
