Professional Signal Visualization SmartMTR connects seamlessly to your FlexRadio via the official API. By subscribing to real-time signal data delivered through high-speed UDP packets, the app provides a smooth and responsive analog S-meter experience. It brings the classic look and feel of traditional radio hardware to your modern digital desktop.

Important: SmartMTR works only on your local network and does not support remote connections. For the best experience, we recommend using an Ethernet connection or high-quality Wi-Fi. Network quality is crucial for real-time data processing, ensuring smooth and accurate meter response.

Key Features: • Real-Time Accuracy: Uses UDP packet data for zero-lag signal strength visualization.
• Signal Extremes: An arc on the meter face shows the recent signal peak and minimum at a glance — great for comparing antennas or watching for fading.
• Record Your QSOs: Record the S-meter together with received audio and save it as a video file. Share a clip with your contacts or post it to social media.
• Always on Top: Keep the S-meter visible at all times, even when you are working inside your main SDR application or logging software.
• Minimal Mode: A clean, space-saving interface that shows only the essential meter, perfect for crowded screens.
• Customizable Aesthetics: Personalize your setup by changing the color of the meter needle to match your preference or desktop theme.
• Built for macOS: A native application optimized for performance and stability on Mac computers.
