Keyboard-first net console
Type part of a call and press Return to log it. Flags like traffic or mobile go after the call, and punctuation keys run commands.
Run, find and grow nets
Callboard is one place to find, run and grow nets, however people join: repeater, simplex, HF, GMRS, AllStarLink, EchoLink or DMR. Net control logs check-ins from a keyboard-first console, anyone can see who's logged, and clubs keep their roster and coverage without paperwork.
