Отлично!

Подключил к RTL-SDR 2832 - ПК- HDSDR- line out - microphone 3.5 jack на iPhone. HDSDR настроил на основную частоту, поставил AM, ширину 9 кГц. Заработало, начал декодировать ACARS.

Works as advertised

The app does work, but requires some tweaking/experimenting with the microphone and speaker placement, signal/antenna.
Pretty good app, would like to see an update though. I copied signals from two different radios, an Icom ICR6 Communications Receiver and an XHDATA D808 portable shortwave radio . Both performed reasonably well tuned to 130.551 mHz Air band (AM).
