Comments on FT8 Radio for Android

★★★★★ Super excited about this! Any chance of support for digirig ptt? It's an audio/serial interface that can implement ptt with an RTS signal with audio only cable with several major radio brands

★★★★★ Not sure where I can submit bug details. Everything is working on the system, I was able to make contacts on 10 m. I wanted to play with the 2 m & 70 cm band, and when I tune to both those bands it tunes the radio to 44.460 instead of 144.460 and will tune to 30.510 instead of 430.510. All other bands tune properly. I'm using a IC-705 and a Galaxy S21. For a quick fix I'm manually tuning into the frequency after opening the app. Keep up the great work.

★★★★★ Hi! Great app! Love it, I just have one request, hence not 5 stars. When people call call sign/QRP, the app pick it up as such but when you click on it, it just picks up QRP, not call sign/QRP. Thanks!

★★★★★ All in all I really like this app. I've tested it recently on a four day SOTA/POTA hike & had fun with it during portable operations. I'm giving only 4 stars, as it doesn't know how to handle suffixes at all (i.e. SP0XXX/P) :(. If this gets fixed, it will be a solid 5.

★★☆☆☆ Won't Transmit. I used the same setup and wiring that I use for WSJT-X on my laptop. The vendor said to turn the volume down on the phone. I also made sure that the phone volume doesn't turn up inside the app settings. It still doesn't transmit properly, but it does receive. ALC is 100. Power output is 0 Watts. I'm using a Xingu G90 in the settings because this is the radio I'm using. It doesn't matter what I do. Don't Purchase. You cannot adjust your ALC or power like you can in WSJT-X. Junk!
