From equipment list to operational capability

More than an inventory spreadsheet.

Station Ready connects the physical equipment to the capability, procedure, verification, and return-to-ready process.

01 · Inventory

Record what is physically present

Capture equipment, make/model, condition, connectors, storage location, and the capabilities each item supports.

02 · Capabilities

Define what the station can actually do

Separate equipment ownership from operational capability. A radio on a shelf is not the same thing as a tested communications capability.

03 · Procedures

Build repeatable operating steps

Document setup, connection and configuration, acceptance checks, shutdown, inspection, recharge, and return to ready.

Built for real stations and real operators

Everything needed to preserve station knowledge.

✓

Station profile

Purpose, location, callsign, power, antenna, custodian, review interval, and operational notes.

✓

Capability records

HF, VHF/UHF, Winlink, packet, networking, monitoring, portable deployment, or custom capabilities.

✓

Equipment inventory

Track quantity, condition, storage, interfaces, supporting capability, and equipment notes.

✓

Packing lists and audits

Create reusable equipment-package checklists and record shortages, missing items, or items needing attention.

✓

Setup and shutdown procedures

Put each action, connection or setting, and observable confirmation in the order an operator performs it.

✓

Verification and gaps

Record test status, limitations, corrective actions, open questions, and readiness problems that still need resolution.

✓

Printable readiness record

Review the full station record and print a documentation packet for training, validation, or station reference.

✓

Portable data

Save and load Station Ready JSON backups, export inventory CSV files, and keep a copy with the station.

Your station data stays with you.

Station Ready is local-first. It does not require a cloud account or send your station record to a server.

  • Runs from a local HTML file in a modern browser.
  • Stores the working record in that browser on that device.
  • Save a JSON backup before clearing browser data or moving to another computer.
  • Keep copies wherever your organization manages controlled records.
