RadioMail vs HamThings PTT

RadioMail gives you access to the Winlink amateur radio email system from your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Silicon Mac. Send and receive email over the internet or amateur radio, manage your messages, and stay connected when you’re away from traditional communications. A valid amateur radio license is required. SEND YOUR WAY Send and receive email over Wi-Fi or cellular when you’re online, or hold messages for your next radio session. RadioMail can also check for new messages in the background and notify you when they arrive. GET ON THE AIR Connect to Winlink stations using Packet, ARDOP, or VARA FM and HF. RadioMail works with a growing range of radios, TNCs, and software modems, and lets you save multiple devices so they’re ready when you need them. Supported radios: * BTECH UV-PRO, UV-50PRO * VERO VR-N76, VR-N7600 * RADIODITY GA-5WB, DB50-B * Kenwood TH-D74 and TH-D75 with B.B. Link adapter * Icom IC-705 over Bluetooth + USB, or Wi-Fi * PicoAPRS V4 Supported KISS TNCs and software modems: * Mobilinkd * DigiPi * Dire Wolf * LiNK500 VARA FM and HF require a VARA modem running on a separate computer. Packet and VARA FM also support configurable digipeaters. PACKET AND ARDOP BUILT IN No separate modem is needed for supported setups. RadioMail includes built-in 1200 baud Packet and ARDOP modems that work with: * Digirig Lite * AIOC (All-In-One Cable) * Icom IC-705 PEER-TO-PEER EMAIL Exchange email directly with another station using Packet or ARDOP. RadioMail can listen for incoming peer-to-peer connections, making it easy for another station to reach you. FIND THE BEST STATION Browse the Winlink station directory and use Best Path Prediction to find stations you’re most likely to reach. Save favorites for quick access or add your own stations for peer-to-peer operation. KEEP EMAIL ORGANIZED Search your mail, flag important messages, and quickly find unread messages, attachments, forms, and today’s email with Smart Mailboxes. Select multiple messages at once when it’s time to clean up. SEND PHOTOS OVER RADIO Take a photo or choose one from your library. RadioMail can resize it to reduce transfer time over radio. Received attachments can be previewed, saved, or shared with other apps. USE WINLINK FORMS Compose and view standard Winlink forms without leaving RadioMail. Forms update automatically, and location fields can use your current GPS position. Search the Forms Library to find the form you need, or import your own custom forms from ZIP files. On iPhone, an experimental mobile layout makes supported forms easier to fill out on a smaller screen. SHARE YOUR POSITION Send your current location as a Winlink position report for publication on the APRS network. USE YOUR CONTACTS Send mail from your primary Winlink callsign or tactical addresses, and address messages to Winlink or Internet email recipients. RadioMail suggests people and lists from your Contacts as you type. MADE FOR IPHONE, IPAD, AND MAC Use RadioMail on the device that works best for you. On iPad, a three-column layout makes the most of the larger screen, and compose windows can open separately with Windowed Apps. RadioMail for iPad also runs on Apple Silicon Macs. STAY IN SYNC WITH ICLOUD Your messages, stations, and account information stay in sync through iCloud, so you can move between your devices and continue where you left off. RadioMail is independently developed and is not affiliated with the Amateur Radio Safety Foundation, Inc. (ARSFI), which supports the Winlink Global Radio Email system.
