Fehlerhaft?

Hat bei mir nicht funktioniert.

Good Value and intro to Digital Modes

Amazingly this little ap works as intended on both my iPhone and ipad. About as simple as you can get and excellent for occasional decoding and demonstrating😊

A little bare

It was easy enough to decode some packets just audio coupled to the transceiver. My overall view is that it’s quite pricey for what appears to be an early demo. A polished App should provide the typical map view, and perhaps compose the log email itself.

Digirig not supported

Sooooo, yes this program works, as in it decodes. FT8 audio, and makes ft8 noise out. So it is then up to you to get some cables and make it work with your radio. For what this costs I wish I could get my money back it was a gamble to see if it would work with a DigiRig, sadly it doesn’t. (Missed opportunity) oh well.

Ft8d decoder

Wow!
Just a short piece of wire on my trusty R1000 receiver and phone not even near speaker. Many decodes from across Europe on 40 metres. Tx not tried as I use wsjt-x 73 de G4BTI.
