Description

COFDMTV is based on COFDM (coded orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing) technology:
- 160 ms long OFDM symbols
- 6.25 Hz per sub-carrier
- 1/8 guard interval
- differentially encoded PSK (phase-shift keying) modulation
- systematic polar codes for forward error correction

Currently Modes 14, 15 and 16 are supported:
Using either SPC(2048, 1392), SPC(2048, 1056) or SPC(2048, 712) with CRC32C aided SCL decoding and differential QPSK modulation for the payload.
Only a bandwidth of 1600 Hz is needed and the transmission of either 85, 128 or 170 bytes take about one second with the leading noise and fancy header disabled.

Recent changes:
- added support for 16 KB page size
- updated libs and tools

Comments on Rattlegram - SMS via audio! for Android

★★★★★ TacticalBacon · Apr 23, 2023

Can we get the ping feature to trigger a notification on phone and a toggle option for it to listen in background or messages triggering a notification, so you can ping someone before sending a message, and they will be ready to receive and be alerted to it or a radio pass-through This will allow us to be able to receive messages while also using our phones for other task while using handle held Aux cable where you would no longer hear radio noise

★★★★☆ Doug Offord · Feb 2, 2025

Works well. Would like to have ability to send longer text messages and images.

★★☆☆☆ Adrian Anderson · Jan 24, 2024

The app isn't translating the received messages. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app multiple times trying to fix it but no dice.

★☆☆☆☆ Knowledgeablelandon · May 27, 2024

Garbage! Every message fails to decode, therefore this app is useless. Should be deleted from the play store.

★★☆☆☆ William Linton · Jan 22, 2024

Need better directions on how to use it. It took me forever to get it to work. Sometimes it doesn't work at all
