cState is the companion app for Channel 28 radio systems installed on board yachts. It connects to the yacht’s Channel 28 control processor over the on-board network and lists every crew radio handset by number and name. For each handset you can see and change its features at a glance – for example engineering (ENG), stewarding (STE), watch (WAT) and GPS tracking – exactly as configured for that yacht. Changes take effect immediately and are shared with every other device running cState, so the whole crew sees the same, up-to-date picture. Features: • Live view of every radio handset and its feature settings • One-tap switches to turn features on and off • Compact rows on phones; full rows on iPad and larger screens • GPS map showing the position of handsets that have GPS turned on • Primary and optional secondary server, with automatic switch-over • Repeater frequency and escalation settings, where the yacht supports them cState requires a Channel 28 system installed on board. Your Channel 28 engineer can supply the server address for your yacht.
