https://radiobench.com/news/ Dev updates for Radio Bench, the native desktop SDR workspace. en https://radiobench.com/news/ radiobench-news-2026-08-25-What’s next: FSK Tue, 25 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT With the public beta now out, the next mode being built is FSK. The current focus is the transmit-and-receive UI: taking a fresh look at how operators tune, decode, compose, and transmit, with an experience that feels simple, direct, and enjoyable. The goal is to keep the mode capable without making it feel like work. https://radiobench.com/news/ radiobench-news-2026-08-25-Radio Bench is now in public beta Tue, 25 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT Radio Bench is now available in public beta for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Download it and start the built-in 14-day trial — no account, no signup. This is still beta software, so feedback, rough edges, and reports from real stations are welcome. If 14 days isn’t enough, send us some meaningful feedback about your experience and get in touch — we can work out a trial extension. https://radiobench.com/news/ radiobench-news-2026-08-13-The last mile to public beta Thu, 13 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT Radio Bench is nearly ready for public beta. Installer signing and final testing across macOS, Windows, and Linux are the remaining jobs. Once those checks are complete, signed native installers will appear on the download page with the built-in 14-day trial ready to go. https://radiobench.com/news/ radiobench-news-2026-07-08-Omakase for the HF bench Wed, 08 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT The design idea is omakase: a curated bench where the important modes and controls are already in reach. Radio Bench is intentionally opinionated about layout, defaults, and flow so the app opens to a coherent working surface instead of a setup checklist. You bring the radio; the bench should already feel setup. https://radiobench.com/news/ radiobench-news-2026-06-24-For operators who want the shack computer to disappear Wed, 24 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT Radio Bench is for HF operators who want the computer to help without becoming the hobby. Power on the radio gear, open the app, see the band, control the rig, log the contact, and try the next mode without rebuilding a desktop of separate tools. It is for people who understand components, wires, antennas, and propagation, and would rather spend their attention there. https://radiobench.com/news/ radiobench-news-2026-06-10-Why build Radio Bench Wed, 10 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT Radio Bench started as a personal experiment: could the HF radio modes and tools I use live in one unified native desktop app, with sensible defaults and no window-juggling ritual? The idea kept proving useful enough to push beyond a weekend utility. The result became something I wanted to use every time I sat down at the radio, and eventually something I thought could be good enough to pay for.
