MorseUs

Features
Read full description

MorseUs supports BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) CW Morse keyer connections for learning and practicing Morse code wirelessly. You can connect and practice CW Morse training between any iOS device running MorseUs or a Mac running the MorseDX application. MorseUs supports both iambic paddles (Type A/B) and straight keys. MorseUs includes a real-time FFT decoder that converts Morse audio tones into letters. A controllable sliding graphic display shows dits and dahs visually. In Graphic Mode, you can enable the Paddle Draw option to display iambic or straight paddle touches together with the dit/dah graphics. If no paddle input is detected, the graphic animation pauses after a short delay to save power. With the Practice feature, you can practice sending letters and words using: * Mixed text generated from entered characters * 4300 built-in common English words * 1450 Turkish words (depending on your system language) At the end of Practice Mode, achievement statistics are displayed. With the Listen Groups feature, you can practice Morse listening using selected groups of letters and words. The Q button displays a list of common Q codes. Professional keyer controls include: * Tone control * WPM adjustment * Character spacing * Iambic paddle type selection (A/B) * Paddle swap function * Keyer weight adjustment The QRM feature adds background noise for realistic CW listening practice. QRM volume can be adjusted independently from CW audio volume. If the device includes a flashlight/torch, the Light option automatically appears in the setup list. When enabled, the torch flashes according to dits and dahs. The Touch Button feature enables on-screen left and right paddle controls for iambic CW practice. When connected to another iOS or Mac device, paddle touches can also be transmitted wirelessly. If the BleTX option is enabled, you can send direct messages to another device using the Send button. If you type β€œshow help” and press ENTER, the ESP32 programming help guide will be displayed, including Arduino sample code and wiring diagrams for the wireless MorseUs CW paddle. Additional wireless BLE keyer code examples and documentation are available on: "Bluetooth iambic CW Paddle Morse Keyer TX only" GitHub Repository.

Control your RF.Guru hotspot over Bluetooth, watch the live feed, send DTMF, and explore the live reflector map from iPhone or iPad. HotSpot is the official mobile companion for the Analog HotSpot SVXLink platform. Pair once over Bluetooth Low Energy and the app takes over from there: read live SVXLink state, switch talkgroups, send DTMF, watch the reflector network on a real map, and keep an eye on your 4G uplink. What you can do: β€’ Live state feed β€” callsign, frequency, current talkgroup, active and last talker, TX/RX flags, plus 4G signal bars when an LTE modem is fitted. β€’ DTMF & device commands β€” full DTMF keypad with quick buttons (status, parrot, IP-announce) and a control menu for SVXLink start / stop / restart, 4G on / off, reboot and power-off. β€’ Talkgroup quick-dial β€” buttons highlighted yellow for the talkgroups your hotspot is actively monitoring, grey for switchable ones, with a green "last heard X ago" timer on each when the live feed is on. β€’ CTCSS info β€” output tone and the full input-CTCSS β†’ talkgroup mapping shown on the Hotspot Info screen. β€’ Live reflector map β€” OpenStreetMap-based view of every node on your reflector. Spiderfy clustering, colour-coded pins (red transmitting, green ON0 repeaters, orange nodes, blue AI-detected, grey offline), floating callsign labels on active talkers, and a glass info card on every pin tap. β€’ Home radius β€” saves your QTH from GPS and frames the map at a configurable radius (default 150 km). One-tap re-center. β€’ Reflector talker history β€” live, server-paged list of who's been on the network, sourced from the same WebSocket feed. β€’ Auto-everything β€” auto-connect to your last hotspot on launch, auto-detect WSS support per reflector domain, auto-fetch the talkgroup labels from the portal, and fall back to Bluetooth-only mode when there's no internet. β€’ Keep-screen-on with auto-sleep β€” optional, slider from 0 (never sleep) to 120 min. β€’ Just Works pairing β€” no PIN, no fuss.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: MorseUs at every 2 days against SVXLink's every 5 weeks. SVXLink's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
