OmniRig 1.20 by Afreet Software is a lightweight CAT (Computer Aided Transceiver) engine designed to let logging, digital-mode, and contest applications share a single serial port connection to an amateur-radio transceiver or receiver. Acting as a background COM-server for Windows, it standardizes frequency, mode, and other rig-parameter queries so that any OmniRig-enabled program can read or change the radio without conflicts. Typical use cases include automatic frequency tracking in contest loggers, real-time spotting-network uploads, rapid band-switching in pile-ups, and seamless integration with WSJT-X, FLdigi, Ham Radio Deluxe, DXLab Suite, and dozens of other ham utilities. The program ships with pre-written INI scripts for more than 200 mainstream radios from Icom, Yaesu, Kenwood, Elecraft, FlexRadio, and others, while a documented script language lets advanced users add new models or fine-tune polling intervals and command sets. Because OmniRig presents a common API, developers can write once and support every rig that the engine recognizes, and operators can change radios without reconfiguring every application. Category placement is Communication / Ham Radio. The current public build is version 1.20, the only release maintained by Afreet Software, and it remains 32-bit to guarantee compatibility with legacy logging software. OmniRig is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
