The HAMBox firmware runs highly integrated programs to support multiple digital modes and provides an intuitive web-based user interface to simplify radio and repeater setup. We redesigned and implemented the cross-linking software from scratch to deliver the most user-friendly, multi-mode digital amateur radio firmware in the open-source community.
Designed for long-running digital voice repeaters (and hotspots), HAMBox has powered our HAMClub repeaters reliably for over six years in challenging environments. The software has been continuously evolving since 2019.
Built on OpenWrt, the firmware is compatible with Raspberry Pi devices, from Pi Zero to Pi 4, as well as numerous cost-effective SoC devices, such as the MT76x8. This ensures that repeater costs remain low while maintaining high hardware quality. The image file is remarkably compact, at less than 20 MB.
For amateur radio enthusiasts without modems or digital radios, this firmware enables digital voice reception and decoding directly from the network, transforming a Raspberry Pi into a digital voice receiver without additional hardware.
Built upon the exceptional MMDVM Project and other open-source projects, HAMBox firmware is intended for amateur and educational use only. For questions or issues, please submit a ticket on GitHub.
