Ham Logging

Rover Mode now talks to your radio, and a Tropo refresh you can steer. YOUR RADIO, BOTH WAYS Turn the dial and Rover's frequency and mode follow it; set them in the app and the radio follows you. Split is handled properly, so a cross-band contact logs the frequency you transmitted on and the one you listened on. Your radio is never touched while transmitting, whatever you are typing is never overwritten, and a contact always saves exactly what the fields show. HOWEVER YOURS IS WIRED Over the network — rigctld, Icom WLAN, Kenwood KNS, Elecraft K4, or serial over TCP. Straight off the phone — USB, Bluetooth SPP, Bluetooth LE, or an LE-UART bridge. Or passively: point it at the N1MM or WSJT-X listener and it just reads what your desk software already broadcasts, touching nothing. NEW: TCI over WebSocket for Expert Electronics SunSDR2 PRO / DX / QRP and MB1, with no bridge. AROUND 90 RADIOS Icom IC-706 / 746 / 756 / 7-series / 9100 / 910H, Yaesu FT-891 / 950 / 450 / 2000 and the FTDX-1200 / 3000 / 5000 / 9000, the Kenwood TS-450 / 690 / 790 / 850 / 950 line, Elecraft K2 and K4, Xiegu X5105, FlexRadio via SmartSDR CAT, and homebrew uBITX and mcHF. Pick your model and the address, baud and driver fill in for you — each one labelled so you know whether it has been verified on hardware or implemented from the specification. If the radio is off, asleep or out of range nothing breaks: the chip greys out and the app keeps trying quietly in the background. ANNOUNCE AN ACTIVATION, OR SPOT YOURSELF Tell the world you are on the air. From Extra > Spots, announce a planned activation so chasers can diary it, or spot yourself live the moment you are on frequency — to POTA, WWFF, GMA and the DX cluster, in one go. Each programme takes its own optional activation callsign, sent exactly as you type it, slash and suffix intact. Nothing is fired and forgotten: an announcement composed where there is no signal is held and sent when coverage returns, and a tick beside each programme shows exactly what happened to your last post. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE A small antenna button beside TX Frequency grabs the dial and mode in one tap. The Tropo refresh button gets its two gestures back — and no longer reports success when it did not actually refresh. Satellite contacts made through the space station now pass LoTW cleanly. Credentials are stored more defensively on devices whose secure keystore misbehaves. APRS on the map no longer mis-attributes packets relayed by receive-only iGates. de A46UNX 73
