Beautiful amateur radio callsign lookup for the terminal. It looks up US callsigns from the FCC Universal Licensing System and prints them with color, clickable links and a clean table layout.

Install

brew install binarynoir/callrx/callrx

The Homebrew formula installs a prebuilt release binary for your platform, so no Rust toolchain is needed. You can also download a binary for macOS (Apple Silicon or Intel), Linux (x86_64 or ARM64) or Windows from the Releases page, or build from source with cargo build --release.

Use

callrx [CALLSIGN]
callrx lookup <CALLSIGN> [OPTIONS]
callrx history <CALLSIGN> [--raw]
callrx completions <SHELL>

OPTIONS:
    --json       Output the raw JSON response
    --raw        Plain text output (no color, no formatting)
    --no-links   Disable clickable hyperlinks

Links are clickable in terminals that support OSC 8 hyperlinks, such as iTerm2, WezTerm, Windows Terminal and Kitty. Shell completions are available through callrx completions.

The README covers the local cache, lookup history, authentication and the supported terminals in detail.
