About

easyTRX2S

Features
Read full description

This app is used in conjunction with the Weatherdock easyTRX2S AIS Class B device. You can connect to the unit via WiFi. You just need the IP address and port number of the device within your WLAN. Once you are connected to the easyTRX2S, you get all important information concerning the programmed data (e.g. MMSI, ship's name, call sign, etc.). Additionally you are able to do a diagnostic, that shows the "health" of the easyTRX2S (e.g. GPS position fix available, number of GPS satellites, receiver and transmitter status, etc.). Last but not least you can change the static data and the interface settings (e.g. baud rate, target filtering, multiplexer behavior and output routing).

iPerf Falcon brings native iPerf testing to iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Measure Wi-Fi, LAN, routers, NAS devices, servers, or broadband to find network bottlenecks. Connect to an endpoint, listen locally, or automate tests over SSH.

Wide iPad and Mac windows show parameters and results together. On iPhone Duo, layouts adapt to both displays and place content on either side of the fold when space allows, preserving your page, drafts, and current test state. Larger text, light and dark appearances, and nine languages are supported: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, and Russian. On iOS 27 and macOS 27, App Shortcuts can open Speed Test, History, or Settings, or load a saved preset. Privacy first No account is required, and there are no ads or analytics trackers. Test history stays on your device. SSH passwords and private keys are stored only in the system Keychain. Test traffic goes only to the target you choose; the target list briefly checks port reachability.
