Ratings and reviews

Works really well with the BTECH APRS cable and my HTs. Even does a respectable job when using the speaker and microphone instead of a cable. I just wish they would add support for Android 4 (or put out a seperate version); as I use several older androids as portable stations and several are Android v4.4.

The app is great! But wishing there were more modes to choose from

Extremely useful app, I found while surfing the radio waves at some people still send out these kind of signals, I just wish I could run this as an MP3, and send signals out on loop
