Worked well. Easy to use. Did have a problem trying to use on Field Day. I couldn’t find a way to enter the FD exchange information.
Seems like the idea of the program is great. The problem I’m having is the time is out of sync with my iPhone. The time says 0600 when it’s 11:00 PM. Also moving the cursor for the frequency is very difficult to set to an exact frequency. If I could figure out how to fix these issuesi I would change my rating to 5 stars.
Once I worked through the proper cable wiring to work on my iPhone, I was able to use this app, and my radio’s VOX option to work a POTA session successfully. Well done!! PS: there was not a lot of info on how to build the cables, it may help a lot to have a little more info on how to do it.
I downloaded the app I can not get past putting in my call sign. I enter it and hit save it tells me “ enter call sign’ I’m stuck how to move forward. I click support and nothing comes up. Trying to find a email to ask for guidance. Can’t wait to use this. Once I get pass this problem.
I’m very excited for the progress on this app. The software seems there and it decodes and encodes FT8/FT4 just fine, but I hope it could be expanded to JS8call or other modes potentially in the future. It seems that running an integrated sound card such as the one in my Xiegu X6100 is not yet supported, as on both my iPad Pro 2020 and my iPhone 12 Pro connecting an Apple USB-C to C/Lightning cable was ignored and played the audio through the speaker. I hope in the future this method could be implemented as I would use it very regularly for SOTA in order to lighten my kit.
Some problems with sequencing of the other party was not following the expected sequence to the dot. Lost 23% of my QSOs today due to this. However being able to just plug my phone into my kx2 and do FT8 is awesome while on the go! This is a great start. Can’t wait to see where it goes.
Well designed and easy to use. Can use IPhone mic and speaker for a no cable solution. Nice help built into app. Well worth the small price. Running on my IPhone SE. Perfect for portable FT8 operation. Highly recommended! WB9FUW
I really like the app and it decodes well I wish with a digirig I could send from a iPad Pro with USB C for audio. Then I could run FT8 portable with my KX2. If this dose work for transmit please share how.
I tried a SOTA activation yesterday with this app and my KX2. I could only complete 1 contact via the apps and had to switch to SSB to finish the activation. I called CQ and got no responses, then switched to “Listen” mode and saw that a number of stations were calling me back but the app did not present them to me when I was in “Calling” mode. The one contact I made was the only station who called me back on my calling frequency. I also hope to see the ability to add SOTA or POTA prefixes.
Thanks, Christoph, for this app! It works perfectly with my (tr)uSDX and iPad. Love the auto logging. Suggestion: add QRZ look-up option. With the QRZ look-up added, one could also access one’s own QRZ logbook and then from there upload the QSO to LOTW. I am still trying to get the IFTX to work on transmit with my iPhone 8. It receives, looks like it is transmitting, but no output. The problem must be somewhere in my iPhone settings. 73 and keep up the good work! 73 de W B 3 B I Q.
