Support QSL Buddy
QSL Buddy is free and always will be. If it's useful to you, here's how you can help keep it that way.
Where your support goes
- Server, database, and domain costs
- Bandwidth for Bridge releases on our CDN
- Test hardware for CAT / digital mode support
- Time to build the features hams actually want

Donate hardware
QSL Buddy supports CAT control for Icom, Yaesu, and Xiegu — but every radio tested on real hardware makes the product better. If you have gear gathering dust, or want to sponsor a specific model to get it supported, let's talk.
Kenwood TS-590SG / TS-890
Kenwood CAT protocol not yet implemented — a real unit would unlock full Kenwood support.
Elecraft K4 / KX3
Elecraft CAT protocol not yet implemented.
Icom IC-705
Protocol supported, never tested on real hardware.
Yaesu FTDX10 / FT-710
Protocol supported, would love to verify against the real thing.
Digital interface (SignaLink USB or similar)
For testing digital mode integration end-to-end.
Not on the list? Still interested — email anyway.
Other ways to help (free)
Not everyone can chip in cash or gear — these go just as far.
