Leave a Review Packet Pad
1200 afsk packet decoder
it works great on aprs, even without a cable (acoustically coupled). the sstv app also works great with pix from the ISS. that was recommended by Clint B / k6lcs on the amsat bulletin board. i bought the 4- pak, but have not tried the psk-31 or cw decoders yet. buy it. 73KF0G
Works if RX is clean.
I wanted to verify packet traffic recvd on 145.825 mhz was actually coming from space. Holding my iPhone with this app up next to the speaker of my receiver decoded the sound into discern-able characters. Lots of fun.

Works great next to speaker
I haven't tried a direct connect yet. Using iphone 5 mic picks up packets great.LNK feed
Hate it
It does not work and I want my money back.Thomas Fike

Works as advertised! Would love to see it also decode the compressed packets.NW5AR
Horrible
This program wont receive a single packet. It is like it is deaf and dumb. Save your money. What a waste!Joewf2v
Great Potential, Disappointing Presentation
App works decently, however it needs to improve dramatically to be worth the price. The ability to encode and decode packet information would make this worth the price an maybe even more. Otherwise, it's a sad disappointment because of the huge potential that just isn't met here.HK4FN
Tip for people using the iPhone microphone:
I was unable to get this to work by placing the iPhone near my radio's speaker. What I found was that the speaker is unable to reproduce some of the higher pitched tones required to decode AFSK packets.
What DID work is using a pair of nice earbuds and placing them near the iPhone mic.
After some experimenting I can verify that this app definitely works!Show lessbendhoward
It Works!
Very well, in fact. Impressed my son in law a lot. He's a high level ITT expert and not easy to impress. He actually (after knowing me for 10+ years) asked me how he could become a ham! He never took an interest before, and I've shown him my station many times. The combination of an IPad and small 2 meter radio finally aroused his interest. Well worth buying!Show lesskb6tr
Doesn't work for me
Tuned my Kenwood TM-D710 to 144.390 and tried various audio levels and distances from the speaker but couldn't get it to decode anything. It didn't even produce garbled text. Maybe this app isn't for the iPhone 4?Digitalhexcode
