Your picture galleries

The Pictures section keeps what you have received, what you have sent, and what the wider network is hearing — with callsign and band filters.

The Pictures section keeps everything: what you’ve received, what you’ve sent, and what the wider network has been receiving.

The Pictures section showing a grid of picture cards with callsigns and times, and tabs for Received, Sent and Received from internet.

The tabs

  • Received — every picture that has arrived at your station, newest first.
  • Sent — every picture you’ve transmitted.
  • Received from internet — pictures other stations copied off-air and published. See the internet feed.

Received and Sent persist between sessions (the app keeps the last 300 of each). Cards show the callsign and time; animated GIFs play right on the card.

Filtering

Filter boxes narrow the view by callsign and frequency/band — handy after a busy weekend.

Clicking a card

Opens the full-size viewer, with Copy (clipboard) and Open folder (the received directory on disk, where every incoming picture is also saved as a normal image file with a timestamp-callsign filename).

Publishing

By default your sent and received pictures are also published to your operator profile so others can browse them — that’s what fills the internet feed. It’s opt-out: turn “publish my pictures” off in Settings and everything stays local. See Your own profile.
