Description
The WSPR Beacon App is made to send WSPR signals using your Android smartphone/tablet as a signal source. All you have to do is use the audio out of it and pair it with the audio in of your rig (and set it to VOX).
All you ha to do is:
1) Set your CALLSIGN
2) Set your LOCATOR or press the GPS button and have the app automatically calculate it based on your position. Please allow a few seconds for the GPS to get exact coordinates.
3) Set the POWER LEVEL so that it matches your rig output power
4) Select the BAND (optional). This is only to have handy the frequency value to set on the rig.
5) Set the TX FRAMING. This allows you to set how ofter the WSPR will be sent. By default the WSPR is sent only once.
6) Select the BASE FREQUENCY. It can go from 1400Hz to 1600Hz and by default it is 1500Hz
7) Press START
The app will wait for the next frame start before sending.
So you only have to make sure that the clock of your smartphone/tablet is synced.

★★★★★
Brilliant I use this app for my qrp portable antenna and propagation testing. No need for a laptop!
★★★★★
Great value A great tool that works well. My only gripe is it will transmit again after you have pressed stop. Its only a minor fault but it unexpectedly transmitted when I was swapping antennas, that wasn't nice. Other than that WOW great app.
★★★★★
I use it for transmitting and monitoring WSPR using Yaesu and Icom radios via a SignaLink SL-1+ interface which handles the vox and audio isolation. Using it with a Samsung Galaxy S6 (Android 6.0.1) and a Samsung Tablet P5110 (Android 4.2.2) - works great. 73 G0SBN

Could not change the screen size. Consequently could not read the text for setting app up.

It sees that I have a radio attached, an Icom 7300 but it will not transmit.
