Ratings and reviews

Works well with KX2. More versatile and configurable than KX3 Companion. Only one drawback: cannot transmit while typing. Need to write complete message before pressing send (unlike KX3 Companion). I hope developer will fix this and the app will be perfect. Reviewed in 2017 and again today after update. Presume further development in progress because the Play website screen is different from the app. G4BTN

Simple. Works. Simple. Took me about 90 seconds to figure out how to use it. I SOTA, POTA and travel with my KX3, the USB cable it came with, a $5 dongle (OTG) and my Pixel 3. Perfect. It even sends CW so you can work CW and, via the rigs internal firmware, RTTY and PSK. Like I typed, simple.

MANUAL FILE PERMISSIONS REQIIRED! this app does work but you must grant file access manually by going in to the app properties and granting file access there. The app does not ask and just errors when trying to write a file otherwise
