XRS (Extensible Radio Specification) is a standard-based platform for the control of radio devices (receivers or transmitters) by a computer.

The XRS standard defines the interface between a radio control program (the 'Server') and an add-on plug-in software module (the 'Client'). The specification is flexible enough to allow for a wide range of radio devices to be enhanced by a wide range of plug-ins.

If the radio application software is equipped with an XRS Server, then additional functionality modules (XRS Plug-ins) fit into it like keys into a lock, regardless of the type or model of the radio device.

The result is a platform which makes additional radio control functionality simple and easy to develop. The XRS standard benefits everyone: radio users, third-party software developers as well as radio manufacturers.

  For XRS developers: XRS is being extended to cater for new radio technologies.

  The new Advanced Memory Scanner offers advanced facilities for memory scanning.
