TUCC brings weather, space-weather thinking, HF nets, DX tools, and band planning into one command center instead of sending operators across a stack of websites.
Try the complete KE8OHV Ultimate Command Center free for 30 days. No payment required to test. If it helps your station, activation is a $50 donation after the trial.
No fake purchase popups. No made-up reviews. These are real website and download numbers from the first month online, and the trial is open so operators can decide for themselves.
Most operators start with the areas they already use every day, then discover the rest of the Command Center after they see how much is included.
Careful operators may want to inspect screenshots, read the manual, watch the walkthrough, and test the installer before they trust any new Windows ham-radio program. That is exactly why TUCC gives a full 30-day trial.
This section uses newly captured real screenshots from all 38 TUCC program screens. Visitors can click through every screen clearly instead of watching a fuzzy compressed video.
The first screen hams open in TUCC V2.3.5 Revision A.
Hams want to know if software is stable, understandable, safe, and useful at the operating desk. This page now answers those questions directly.
Most ham radio programs do one job. KE8OHV Ultimate Command Center brings the operating desk together in one Windows command center.
This release was built around real fixes, live testing, and easier operation for hams who need a cleaner all-in-one station tool.
TUCC V2.3.5 Revision A is designed to guide hams through radio setup, CAT control planning, saved rig profiles, COM port choices, baud rates, cable/interface checks, and common rig-control helper tools. Actual control depends on the radio model, firmware, cable, driver, and the operator's station settings.
Verified in the V2.3.5 Revision A test cycle with COM3 at 57600 baud.
Guided setup for popular Kenwood CAT command workflows, saved rig profiles, COM port planning, and baud-rate checks.
CI-V address, baud-rate, USB driver, and interface planning for common Icom operating stations.
CAT setup help for Yaesu menu settings, USB drivers, COM ports, saved profiles, and station-specific testing.
Station planning guidance for advanced radios, network/control software, virtual serial ports, and saved operating profiles.
Guided planning for additional rigs where model-specific CAT behavior should be checked with the operator's own radio, cable, and interface.
Planning support for operators who use external rig-control helpers, digital-mode programs, virtual COM ports, or shared station workflows.
The program helps guide setup, but final control must be verified on the ham's own radio, firmware, driver, cable, COM port, and baud-rate settings.

Revision A is built for hams who want one polished Windows command center instead of a pile of separate tools, web pages, notes, and folders. Built By A Ham, For Hams. 73 - Edward Vernier, KE8OHV.
Watch a narrated walkthrough that shows real TUCC program screens and explains the major features without requiring visitors to read the full documentation first.
The video tour shows the command center, rig control, FCC lookup, QSO logging, HF nets, weather tools, equipment inventory, accessibility features, emergency SOS tools, and why TUCC brings the shack together in one Windows program.
Prefer audio only? The original narrated product tour is below.
Most ham-radio programs are strong in one lane: a logger, a rig-control screen, a digital-mode helper, a callsign lookup page, a weather page, or a note system. KE8OHV Ultimate Command Center V2.3.5 Revision A is built as the whole operating desk: rig control, FCC lookup, QSO logging, contest support, HF nets, weather, listening, antennas, repeaters, inventory, awards, learning, accessibility, updates, licensing, and station records in one guided Windows command center.
Instead of buying, opening, and learning a stack of separate ham tools, TUCC brings 38 real operating, station, learning, weather, emergency, support, and record-keeping screens into one command center.
TUCC combines QSO entry, FCC lookup, contest support, saved rigs, distance, azimuth, ADIF planning, backups, restore workflow, and operator records in one operating flow.
TUCC adds saved rig profiles, brand/model setup help, COM ports, baud rates, CAT health, virtual COM planning, OmniRig, FLRig, Hamlib, and troubleshooting guidance.
Hams with more than one radio can organize Kenwood, Icom, Yaesu, portable, digital, and station-specific profiles instead of rebuilding the shack setup every time.
TUCC keeps saved nets, manual net entry, active net operations, schedules, propagation, band notes, rosters, check-ins, and quick tune support in the same program.
Broadcastify resources, HF, VHF, repeaters, scanner feeds, NOAA weather radio, Skywarn, emergency, marine, and aviation listening are organized for fast access.
TUCC connects weather status, alerts, forecast awareness, portable planning, Field Day safety, emergency readiness, and HF condition thinking to the operating desk.
TUCC includes 2 meter repeater help, VHF operating support, tones, offsets, travel notes, local activity, and programming helper flow for practical local radio use.
WSJT-X, FT8, FLDigi, APRS, packet, CW, DX, POTA, SOTA, satellite, ISS, Winlink, SOS location tools, and EmComm resources are visible beside the rest of the station workflow.
TUCC includes a dedicated Emergency SOS & Location Beacon Center that most ham packages do not offer: GPS coordinates, grid square, map launch buttons, copy-ready emergency text, APRS/radio template support, Winlink template support, ICS-213 awareness, and portable/emergency position reporting in one place.
Antenna lab, rotor and beam headings, antenna routing, coax planning, grounding reminders, RF safety, installation safety, and station calculators stay in the same system.
TUCC lets hams track radios, tuners, amps, antennas, power supplies, coax, serial numbers, locations, notes, purchase info, pictures, maintenance, and backups.
Awards, certificates, plaques, custom achievements, backups, exports, and shack records are part of the same command center instead of a separate forgotten folder.
The manual, learning center, training resources, glossary, Q-codes, setup help, and feature guidance are built into the user support flow.
Large section buttons, voice feedback, read-section controls, screen-reader-minded labels, and guided navigation help blind, eye-impaired, older, and non-technical hams.
TUCC includes update checking, setup help, license activation, Machine ID support, backups, exports, and support paths so users know where to go.
TUCC is built to reduce the frustration of running a logger here, a lookup there, a rig tool somewhere else, and five websites on top of it all.
Big ham-radio programs often specialize in one area. That can be useful, but it still leaves the operator jumping between separate tools. TUCC V2.3.5 Revision A is built as a complete operating environment: a ham can control, log, look up, monitor, listen, learn, plan, manage equipment, and get support from one command center.
Most ham software solves one piece of the puzzle. KE8OHV Ultimate Command Center is designed around the whole operator experience: operate, learn, log, troubleshoot, organize, and stay aware.
Designed around a protected core engine, direct CAT workflow, saved rig profiles, brand/model selection, COM port help, baud-rate guidance, and clear setup steps for hams who may not be computer experts.
KE8OHV Ultimate Command Center was designed so blind hams, visually impaired hams, eye-impaired operators, and older hams can see, hear, and navigate station tools with less friction. The program is built around large section buttons, voice feedback, clear labels, screen-reader-minded structure, and guided section navigation.
Blind, visually impaired, eye-impaired, and older hams can press this button to hear a complete spoken overview of what KE8OHV Ultimate Command Center V2.3.5 Revision A can do.
Most ham radio software websites talk only about rig control, logging, digital modes, and weather. TUCC also makes accessibility a major part of the operating experience, so blind and low-vision hams are not treated as an afterthought.
A visitor should not think, "another ham radio program." They should see that TUCC was built as a full shack command center with accessibility in mind from the start.
Voice support can read controls and help text aloud for operators who need audio guidance.
Clear labels, named controls, section headings, and simplified navigation help operators using assistive tools.
Users can jump to a section, work inside it, and return to the main heading area without drifting through a confusing page.
Large buttons, clear status boxes, and one-command navigation reduce frustration.
TUCC combines operating tools, accessibility support, and station management into one Command Center built by a ham, for hams.
General Class amateur radio operator, disabled U.S. Army veteran, lifelong technology professional, and creator of the KE8OHV Ultimate Command Center.
KE8OHV Ultimate Command Center V2.3.5 Revision A was created by Edward Vernier, KE8OHV, a General Class amateur radio operator with more than 55 years of experience in information technology. Edward's background includes a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science, Network Engineering, Computer Forensics, and Cyber Security.
Edward served in the U.S. Army as a sniper and is now a 100 percent disabled veteran. Today, much of his time is spent at home caring for his critical-care wife. That life of service, responsibility, and limited time away from home helped lead him deeper into amateur radio, a community he loves and respects.
After becoming a ham operator in 2020, Edward discovered that no single program on the market gave him everything he wanted in one place. Rig control, logging, FCC lookup, weather, repeaters, antennas, learning, station records, and operating tools were scattered across separate systems. So he decided to build the software he wished existed.
After approximately one and a half years of research, development, testing, debugging, redesign, and more than 8,000 hours of work, KE8OHV Ultimate Command Center V2.3.5 Revision A came to life. What normally would require a full software development team was built by one ham wearing every hat: developer, tester, designer, researcher, documentation writer, support planner, and operator.
The result is a program built from real shack needs, not from a marketing checklist. It was created to help hams operate, learn, log, troubleshoot, organize, and enjoy radio without being forced to jump between a dozen disconnected tools.
Operators can leave messages, feature ideas, questions, operating feedback, and public reviews for KE8OHV Ultimate Command Center V2.3.5 Revision A. Submissions are held for review before they appear on the website, keeping the page clean and professional.
A place for hams to share questions, station notes, feature ideas, club feedback, and operating experiences with TUCC V2.3.5 Revision A.
A dedicated area for operators to leave star ratings and written reviews after trying the Command Center in their own shack.
Ham visitors can sign the KE8OHV TUCC website log with call sign, name, and location so the community can see who stopped by.
No payment is required to test TUCC. Download the Windows installer, try the complete V2.3.5 Revision A program in your own shack, and decide after the 30-day trial. Activation donation is only $50 after the trial.
TUCC keeps station data on your own Windows computer. The folders under C:\Ham Radio Command Center help keep logs, exports, backups, settings, license support files, and recovery data organized where operators can find them.
These folders are for data protection and support. TUCC does not use them to auto-delete your station information.
Download note: the installer is hosted in the official KE8OHV Google Drive download folder. Open the folder and download the latest setup file. If Google Drive shows a large-file warning, use Download anyway only if the file name matches the KE8OHV Ultimate Command Center installer you intended to download.
A dedicated Windows weather command center for amateur radio operators, net control, SKYWARN awareness, POTA planning, station protection, storm logging, and plain-English weather decisions.
This is a separate KE8OHV program built for hams who want terrestrial weather, storm risk, radar links, SPC awareness, wind guidance, outage awareness, ham-shack notes, and operating decisions in one screen.
Download package includes the installer EXE, portable EXE, customer read-me, and full PDF user manual. The Weather Center license is separate from TUCC.
TUCC 2.4.5 Rev A gives basic weather awareness inside the main command center. The standalone KE8OHV USA Storm Command Weather Center goes much deeper by combining official forecasts, alerts, radar, storm products, observations, outage awareness, and KE8OHV ham-radio decision logic into one weather workstation.
Uses official public weather sources where available. KE8OHV USA Storm Command Weather Center is a ham-radio decision aid and is not a replacement for official NWS warnings or local emergency instructions.

This is the sales preview for hams: they can see the program screens, read what each area does, open the PDF manual, and then download the $19.99 Weather Center package with confidence.
Created first for the W8IRA Link System, now expanded for all hams, all nets, clubs, groups, emergency communication teams, traffic nets, and public service operations.
This program is being released free to help fellow hams run cleaner nets, protect check-in records, create reports faster, and support emergency and traffic-net work.
Built By A Ham. For Hams. Created free for fellow ham radio net controllers by Ed Vernier, KE8OHV. 73, KE8OHV.
This is a separate screen-reader-focused build for blind operators, eye-impaired operators, keyboard-only operators, and hams using JAWS, NVDA, Narrator, or other screen-reader software.
Download the blind and eye-impaired screen reader version from the button above. It is designed for real net control operation, not just a visual copy of the standard program.
TUCC V2.3.5 Revision A remains the current working Windows release. TUCC Version 3 is the planned next major step: a smarter operating brain that helps guide hams through radio control, station decisions, support, troubleshooting, weather readiness, net operation, and everyday shack workflow.
The V3 goal is not to replace the trusted TUCC foundation. It is to grow the proven Command Center into a more guided, intelligent, operator-focused system while keeping the ham in control.
KE8OHV Ultimate Command Center Windows Version 2.3.5 is the current release because Windows gives the strongest foundation today for serial CAT control, rig communication, local database support, installer packaging, and the advanced module system.
Future Mac, Linux, and tablet editions are a major development goal, but they require serious research, programming, testing, debugging, interface redesign, hardware testing, and cross-platform rig-control work. Donations and continued community support help fund that engineering effort while keeping the Windows version moving forward.
KE8OHV Ultimate Command Center V2.3.5 Revision A is provided with a 30-day trial so operators can install it, explore the features, test it in their own shack environment, and make sure it fits their operating needs.
After the 30-day trial period, continued use of the software requires a $50.00 support donation. Your donation helps support ongoing development, research, testing, improvements, documentation, accessibility features, and future versions of the Ultimate Command Center.
Donations also help make future expansion possible, including continued research, programming, and testing toward future cross-platform editions for Mac, Linux, and tablet users. The current release is focused on delivering the strongest Windows-based Command Center experience first, while support from the amateur radio community helps fund the work needed to bring this same level of capability to additional operating systems over time.
Thank you for supporting independent amateur radio software built by a ham, for hams.
