No expensive, clunky external interfaces or cable messes required. With its 3.5-inch colour waterfall display, this is the ultimate, high-value QRP rig.

This radio is a powerful, high-performance SDR based on the popular mcHF open-source project. It is designed for the ham radio enthusiast who is comfortable with technology, updating firmware, and technical operation. It is not a "turnkey" appliance and is recommended for those who love to tinker.

We fully test each unit before it ships, but support is community-based. This radio is for the true hobbyist who wants maximum features and performance for the price.

The "Value Play": HS3 vs. The FT-818

The Yaesu FT-818 is a classic QRP radio, but it's a 20-year-old design. To run FT8, you must buy an expensive, clunky external sound card (like a SignaLink) and deal with a nest of audio cables. The HS3 is the modern solution.

Feature	✅ Ailunce HS3	Yaesu FT-818
Digital Mode Connection	Single USB Cable (Built-in Sound Card)	External Interface Required (e.g., SignaLink)
Display	3.5" Colour SDR Waterfall	1.7" Monochrome (No Waterfall)
Transmit Power	20 Watts	6 Watts

The Choice is Clear:

For the modern ham who wants to get on digital modes like FT8 without the cost and hassle of external interfaces, the Ailunce HS3 is the clear, high-value choice.
