Can’t decode from Mic

Used to use this to decode packets from my HT via the phone microphone, but that capability seems to be gone now. So without the one single thing I need it for, this app is just wasted storage on my iPhone now. Really sucks.

Good

👍👍👍👍👍

Brilliant ☝️😎

Wonderful update ☝️😎

No RF?

Very disappointed that such a well laid out app, easy to understand, and many easy to access functions…does not do RF? What’s the point of APRS and Ham Radio, if you can’t use a RADIO???

New update sucks

The app was alright before the new update. I am interested in no-internet capabilities, so it was disappointing to not be able to receive though I could transmit reliably through audio. Now thanks to this new update, there’s no functionality at all without internet. No audio RF RX or TX at all. Beyond disappointed since at least I could TX before the update.

Needs Mike decoding and being able to send over audio.

This is a great app at what is does. It just needs to support the raw decoding of packets like the old packet pad app did. And well, being able to send the packets add well. Most of us will probably be sending over aprs on 144.380 and need audio to transmit it. Also the capability’s (probably hard to implement) would be winlink compatibility. I would love to be able to send emails over the radio. That’s all! Over all great app, just packing some essentials.

The attention to detail on this app and its layout are second to none. Thank you for your efforts.

It used to work after this update it is broken

Fun App to Experience APRS ☝️😎🏄‍♂️

While it is not the equal of a
$700+ Kenwood HT it is a fun way to experience APRS
either through an inexpensive plain vanilla HT
or directly into the APRS Internet Network.

Intuitive

Intuitive and fun

最大的优点是免费

正如标题所说的那样,这款软件最大的优点是免费。

No genera bien los paquetes

Da igual por RF que por Network (aprs-is), los paquetes se generan de forma incorrecta y no llegan al destino

Excelente

Aplicación APRS que te permite emitir tu posición vía web o reproduce el packet ax.25 en audio para emitirlo por RF desde el micro . También tiene la opción de decodificarlo vía audio.

Good but stops working when phone locks

Good program but stops decoding feeds when phone locks. Needs a o be able to Background App Refresh.

Meh

TCP/IP works fine. However the RF modem being the lackluster flagship feature stinks. TX works great but RX doesn’t.

Perfect for APRS!

This app is great for when you need aprs in a pinch. I've used this app for a few years now and had great success. You don't need an expensive bluetooth TNC, you just need your radio and your iPhone. Hold your radio microphone to the upper speaker on your iPhone and hit transmit and you're set. Perfect for what I wanted. Thanks!

Good

Not a bad app but I dumped it for one that will beacon. If this one beacons I wasnt able to find out how to find that option. I prefer one that will beacon my location at intervals VS me having to tap a green bar every 10 minutes.

But other than that the app was decent. Seemed to work as promised.

Response from developer

The newest version 2 has auto beacon features now, perfect for you on the move. Try it it's free.

TX is ok, no RX messages when using RF

The TX functionality seems to work, other apps can decode the AX.25 generated by this app. However, “Pulsemodem A” does not show any decode messages while in RF mode! Attempted with microphone, line-in, and the input level isn’t distorting.

I’m a 10-year licensed ham and media production engineer; all the obvious issues were tested.

Off-grid functionality is not possible with this app without having both TX and RX!
