Ham Satting vs Enigma

Track amateur radio satellites in real time, predict passes, log QSOs, hunt grid squares — with a live APRS map layer and the new Music Broadcast service. Built by a fellow ham (A41UX) — free of analytics, ads, and tracking. CORE FEATURES • Real-time tracking for FM/SSB linear birds (e.g. ISS, SO-50, etc.), digipeaters (e.g. GRBBeta, Foresail-1p, etc), SSTV + SSDV image birds (e.g. Lobachevsky, GEOSCAN 1-6 , etc.), Weather LRPT (Meteor-M N2-3 / N2-4), and Music Broadcast (e.g. BALKAN-1, Flamingo-1, etc) • Pass predictions with quality indicators (Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor), AOS / LOS, max elevation, duration, azimuth • Interactive footprint mapping with live position + great-circle bearing lines • Compass dialog with theme-aware export image and watermark • AR Tracking (iPhone / iPad) using device compass + accelerometer • Multi-satellite tracking and side-by-side pass comparison • Five-mode AR audio recording (iPhone / iPad): SSTV, SSDV, Digital, Weather, Music — Doppler-corrected RX labelling; consistent WAV naming NEW IN APRIL 2026 • Music Broadcast: 4 satellites transmit short music tones as an RF identifier instead of CW Morse — T.MicroSat-1 plays Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" on 401.025 MHz; BALKAN-1, Flamingo-1, OTP-2 use classical / video-game themes. RX-only on UHF 400-402 MHz; brown toggle on AR page records the pass. • Scheduled Service Events: register a temporary frequency override for SSTV, SSDV, Digital, or Weather (Meteor-M rotation, ARISS channel shifts, etc.) • APRS digipeater added on SONATE-2 (DP0SNX) and NO-44 (PCSAT, W3ADO-1) on 145.825 MHz simplex • IO-86 SSDV downlink added on 145.880 MHz • AMSAT Live Activity Indicator: every prediction card carries a 24-hour activity dot in AMSAT cell colors, sourced from the AMSAT Live OSCAR Satellite Status page. Tap for a 48-hour popup with individual reports per cell (callsign + grid + UTC slot), attribution, and a compact share-image. • 10 new satellites with permanent NORADs: TO-108, GRBBeta, Foresail-1p, Horizon, 239Alferov, Luca, BALKAN-1, Flamingo-1, OTP-2, T.MicroSat-1 • APRS Live Map Layer: read-only APRS-IS feed, age-fading trails, 40+ symbol mappings, SSID filters, heard-by via aprs.fi • SSTV Decoder: multi-mode (Robot 36, PD 120 / 180, Martin, Scottie, Wraase, AVT, etc.) • Q1 2026 batch: 8 new satellites added (HADES-SA, PARUS-T3, HYPERVIEW-1G, MAGNARO-II Piscis, ARICA-2, FSI-SAT2, ZERO-II, OrigamiSat-2) • UI: long sat names auto-fit at any Font Scale; filter pills always one row; (i) info icons; 125 in-app tips LOGGING + AWARDS + EXPORT • Full QSO logbook: callsign, grid, mode, freq (TX / RX), satellite, RST, distance, bearing • Grid Hunters VUCC tracking with worked-grids map + great-circle paths from QTH • Per-QSO QSL card export — themed PNG ready to share or print • Export to ADIF (LoTW / TQSL), JSON, or CSV • Maidenhead 4 / 6 / 8-character grids • DXCC + VUCC dashboards, distance + bearing stats, worked-by-band charts • Calendar integration; smart pass notifications with min-elevation filter TECHNICAL • Available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac (Apple Silicon + Intel). AR Tracking and live audio recording are iPhone / iPad features; pass prediction, logging, exports, mapping, and the AMSAT indicator run on every Apple device. • N2YO API for orbital data (free key required for non-ISS satellites) • Cached satellite catalogue works offline • Privacy-first: data stays on device, no analytics SDKs, no advertising IDs, no tracking. APRS-IS, N2YO, AMSAT Live OSCAR Status, and the optional aprs.fi REST are the only network calls PERFECT FOR • Amateur radio operators pursuing satellite communications • AMSAT members and CubeSat / PocketQube enthusiasts • Contest participants and award hunters (DXCC, VUCC, satellite awards) • SDR listeners curious about Music Broadcast on 400-402 MHz 73 — A41UX (Unixeer, Oman)

Turn the rotors, plug in the cables, press a key and watch which lamp lights up. Enigma brings history's most famous cipher machine to your iPhone and iPad, so accurately that the app decrypts surviving radio messages letter by letter. Please note: the app is in German. A MACHINE YOU CAN TOUCH • Seven models to operate yourself: Enigma D, K, G, I, M3, M4 and T • Rotors in 3D, turned with your finger, with a settable reflector on the commercial models • A plugboard you can tap: plug in the cables like on the original • Lampboard and keyboard, input and output in groups as sent by radio • The Enigma M4 from the Deutsches Museum as a 3D scan you can rotate TWELVE MODELS FROM 1923 TO 1945 From the printing "Handelsmaschine" to the U-boat Enigma M4: every model has a profile with a drawing, historical photos where freely available, dimensions and weight where documented, rotors, key space, codebreaking and history, plus fun facts with sources. LEARN WITHOUT PRIOR KNOWLEDGE • "What's what?" tour: learn where everything is in one minute • Free step-by-step demo on the Enigma I • How operators typed without a space bar, digits or punctuation, with a try-it field • All models compared: how secure were they, and when were they broken? • Technical terms explained in plain language ENIGMA PRO (ONE-TIME PURCHASE) • Real radio messages with their surviving keys, from a 1930 training message to May 1945 • Encrypt and decrypt every message • A message sheet in period style to view and share • Dedicated demos for Enigma D, K, G, M3, M4 and T Buy once, no subscription. Profiles, all seven machines and the Enigma I demo stay free. CHECKED AND SOURCED Every simulated machine is tested against surviving radio messages. The app's source list shows where numbers, dates and pictures come from: Crypto Museum, Wikipedia, Frode Weierud, the German Army and Navy key procedures and the Deutsches Museum. NO ADS, NO TRACKING Works offline, only the purchase needs a connection. No account, no data collected. OUR STANCE The Enigma was a tool of war and of the Nazi state. The app shows the technology and its history. It glorifies none of it.
