I’ve tinkered with the idea of a log book for when I’m portable but nothing so far has stood up to the old pencil and paper. This is by no means an exhaustive list but these are the ones that have been installed and used. Satellite AR – A mixture of Google sky maps and hamsatdroid with a nice ‘point at the sky and see where the satellite is in real time’ interface. Shows you the distance to your nearest repeater. Morse CT – The trainer that if it was a person would have given up on me learning the code a long time ago. Morse code reader – Like all readers its not as good as your ear and as such is limited but a simple application Hamsatdroid – Satellite prediction for your phone. Just does what you need to make use of the Echolink networkĮlectrodroid – A collection of electrical references Well worth the money especially now that it supports messaging.Įcholink – Ro real need to introduce this application. There’s no great explanation as to their functionality as its all on the Android MarketplaceĪPRSdroid – APRS on your phone. A little run down on the ham radio one I have is as below. My HTC desire S is like many other that run the Android OS in that it has access to the Android Market and its ever growing list of extras. Nowadays the primary selling point of a smartphone is not to do the basics like calls and text (SMS) messaging are the apps. I’ve long been a user of smartphone’s and always felt that in the past they were able to offer a lot in terms of being able to make and receive calls then the applications or apps that run on them we additional bonuses.
