Beautiful how you were able to play relaxing chords on your piano while demonstrating all the awesomeness of the android app, I felt I should had worn a tux while watching. 🤵♂️
Thanks for the video. I've been using FT8CN via Bluetooth with the BG2FX FX-4CR on 10m using a Gabil GRA-7350T without radials from a 4th floor balcony. Made about 3 dozen contacts from 6 countries in no time. This takes portable operating to a whole new level!
Was that totally via Bluetooth….no physical usb cable? Daebak! I’ve got an FX-4CR on order for the wave 2 manufacturing run…and I’m even more stoked now🎉
@@robindavies1839Yes, no physical cable. I've tried it with the Xiegu X6100 and could only get it to decode via Bluetooth, but not transmit. It works fully over Bluetooth with the FX-4CR.
@@KW4TIM Thank you so much for the confirmation. I asked Yu what version of Bluetooth is supported in the FX4CR and he indicated 5.1. I’m not sure that means devices that implement lower versions of Bluetooth won’t work correctly - but something for others to be aware of. I’ve got my pre-order in for the next batch of Yu’s magic little machines…and I can’t wait! As you say, takes operating to a whole new level. Pair it with a rugged Android device, and you could pretty much operate comfortably in most weather conditions without a problem.
@@robindavies1839 Speaking of operating comfortably in most weather conditions, I did so yesterday at my QTH. I was outside operating portable when a storm was approaching. Since I already had the Gabil antenna on the tripod, I decided to see if I could get any QSOs using it upstairs with the FX-4CR and FT8CN. Not expecting much, I was surprised when I had a QSO with a station in Nevada on 10 meters while operating at 10 watts. I believe you'll enjoy this little rig. New ones ship with the upgraded motherboard and latest firmware update too.
I'm so glad I switch back to an Android developer phone (Pixel 8 Pro) from iOS. I have it installed and will try it with my QMX later after work when I pickup a USBC to USBC cable on my way home.
@@temporarilyoffline aahhh, thank you. I was looking at the 705's BT settings, wasn't sure if audio is included in those data device settings as per BT-profile.
I made a couple of contacts using this app and my Pixel 6 + X6100 (using USB). Then I noticed how the app serves up a webpage over the LAN where you can download the log file. Not bad!
I connected my X6100 using an OTG cable. CAT control works and it decodes great. However, when it transmits, it does so at 0.0 watts even though the transmit power is set to 5 watts on the X6100. Any idea what is wrong?
Amazing view. I'm on CB band and trying to use jtdx and wsjt-x, with success. But this little thing could I insert a new frequency to play it in the CB band, with my home made Qdx. 73 31OTA Paulo.
omg awesome and finally lol, can't wait for further development. It can't be any buggier than FT4 mode in Jtdx is for me, ok it probably is but still this is great news lol
Got it working on the IC-705 with USB and Bluetooth. Got it working on the X6100 with USB. Tried bluetooth but the radio is putting out zero power. Everything appears to be functioning but no power out. CAT works, it keys the 6100, just no power out. Has to be a how the 6100 is getting the audio from the android. No luck so far, will advise. I would love this app with the X6100 bluetooth! He needs a little manual of some kind, at least the buttons. It keeps automatically changing to stations calling CQ and calls them.
It sounds like you have the wrong sound device selected - this is not currently user-definable in anyway - I've asked for that in a future release. fingers crossed!
@@temporarilyoffline I'm having that same issue with my X6100 over BT. The app keys the radio so it has CAT control, but not power output on TX. I've messed with teh aduio settings for the BT interface to the radio, but no joy. So it must be an app-side setting on where it sends the audio. That would be awesome if it gets addressed in the next release. I'll enter the issue in the dev's repository.
@@BudTalbot Hey Bud! The BT on the X6100 only does CAT control currently, the BT audio is a buggy mess: th-cam.com/video/jSUvQAloObc/w-d-xo.html So might as well leave it off to save battery life until they get it all fix.
Tried v 0.88 today with IC-705. No wires, connection over WiFi. Works. That´s exactly what I expected when purchasing the IC-705. WSJT-X has the IC-705 as an option now, but only USB.

Great video and APP. I am new to HF and FT8. I have seen that my APP transmits for 15 seconds and listens for another 15. But when I transmit there will be other stations transmitting, which I cannot hear, nor can they hear me. So I'm never going to listen to the stations that broadcast at the same time as me? On the other hand, if I don't listen to those stations, how do I know I'm not Tx on the same audio frequency that them? Thanks for your time.
Welcome to HF Angus! You're going to have a lot of fun. FT8 is pretty advanced, maybe too big for a youtube comment, but here goes: I'm not sure if FT8CN allows you to view what's going on in a way that you could find an "open spot" to transmit. Might be easier to start on a desktop app (might be harder) - but you're absolutely correct that its 15 on/15 off - you'll have to pick one of those time segments and watch the waterfall to se if anybody is there. Once you find an open spot in your segment, click on it/tap on it and select "Hold TX Frequency" - I'm not sure what that language is in FT8CN. After that, once you start transmitting, you'll only be seeing half of the waterfall (you can't listen while you're talking), so you'll have to trust the process and wait for a response. That being said, that doesn't mean that somebody else won't move in on your frequency. The space for FT8 is 3khz wide, and each FT8 signal is 50hz, that leaves room for 60 (practically 40-50) QSOs to be in progress - and there are plenty of other bands... so there is lots of room. Hope that helps
@@angusmcgyver9642 Sure thing, don't be afraid to jump in and make mistakes. That's the easy way to learn and this is all supposed to be fun. Let me know if you have any other questions.
As I previously commented, FT8CN works great on Bluetooth with the FX-4CR. I finally got around to trying it with my X6100. Using an OTG cable, everything works fine except transmitting. CAT control works as does decoding. The X6100 transmit power is set to 5 watts, however when it transmits with FT8CN it does so at 0.0 watts. Any idea how to fix the transmit power issue?
In this video, how are you connected to the X6100? I have an X6100 that has firmware 1.1.6 loaded and so far everything I've tried still doesn't seem to speak or control the X6100. The USB says that it's connected but there are no indications to prove it. I've connected a cable from the phone to the X6100 both the Host and the Dev but still nothing!

@@temporarilyoffline Thanks very much for all of your help! After I ordered those OTG Cables, I found one in my box of assorted cables! I plugged it into my phone and a USB-C cable to the DEV port of my X6100. As soon as I told the program which serial port I wanted, FT8 came in like Gang Busters! Now my next step is to enter all of the correct settings and I will be on the air!
This mode is a digital signal mode. The other person saw my call and answered via message. This all happened over radio signals with zero infrastructure. The cell phone was just being used as a computer. Pretty neat stuff.
This kind of thing needs to be able to run on older Android versions to allow us to use old phones that are otherwise gathering dust. It's amazing how pwerrful most old phones actually are.
@@temporarilyoffline its not in the play store on my old android device, I have an old galaxy phone on android 4.1, perfectly powerful enough, but most newer apps arent in the playstore for it, maybe i can try to side load the apk.
This looks awesome and might be just what I need for my just completed QDX. My android tablet will not have an internet connection. How do I get the time set correctly?
Your tablet has an internal battery and once you've setup the timezone/etc in system settings (and sync'd at least once via internet) the time should be remembered. Connect to wifi somewhat frequently and any clock drift will be sorted. Check time.is to see if your clock is good. If your cell phone has a mobile hotspot, you could even connect through that to sync the clock.
Do you need to use an external USB soundcardwith the phone or can you breakout the phone's TRRS audio jack and directly cable to rig's mic and headphone jacks?
I haven't tried it with my G90, but you'd need one cable for CAT and one cable for audio with that rig. If you're lucky and still have a headset jack on your android, that's also possible.
This is a fantastic question and is on my list of things to try. At first glance, I don't see why not... but MUST.TEST.NOW. Look for an upcoming video if I can get it to work.
Just a regular USB with the necessary adapters. Depending on what radio, you might need an OTG or On The Go cable so that your phone is host and not looking for a host

There's from "China" and then there is from "A Person (In China)" which is the case here. Either way, its voluntary and many people have used it without any known issues. It can be used without an internet connection, on a $25 burner phone from walmart, using a fake google account (or none, since its an APK download). To be fair, if you're worried about spying, the US Government is doing it... and so is google, apple, microsoft, etc. We aren't safe/free anymore.

@@temporarilyoffline im not sure i havent used one either, i know on some you can run android apps so i would assume so. also, there's some mini pcs that can run android as well this might work on those too,.
Any clue on how to export/access an adi file?
No clue yet... will look into it in a few versions.
Are you using regular USB cable or do you also need a OTG USB adapter... Thanks
Depends on your phone. I used a regular usb-c to usb-c cable. If you use micro USB, you probably need an OTG cable.

O.K...
I have a Android 10 Car Audio System
It's got 2 Pigtail USB A Sockets
Experimentation I guess
Android Car Audio? I'm interested! Let me know how it works out and if you're on the TOADs discord (link in desc) I want to see pics and details. What unit are you using? @@MINI-4X4-RADIO

This is my 4G/WiFi Mobile Device,
Will replace the 4G antennas for external van roof mounted ones,
hopefully better mobile/cell pickup.
Even basic testing indoors/home shows better speed than my regular Samsung mobile/cell phone
Will it work work with an Android tablet as well? That is very cool and thank you for showing this!
It should! I think somebody else in the comments has tried it, but it's free to try. Go for it!
Can it connect to any logging software or have the capabilities baked in?
It has internal logging baked in, and you can probably export/share/email yourself the log. Give it a try, its free to play with.
I installed it on my Samsung tablet, bigger screen is better, right? Connected over WiFi to my IC-705 and it just worked. It's not particularly intuitive as to how to use it, but I've only played with it for 10 minutes. I need instructions!
That's awesome! Glad to hear it just worked!
Great Video, but I have a question and hope it is not a dumb one. How did you connect the phone to the radio? USB?
Depending on radio, USB, Bluetooth, Wifi, Audio Only. Very versatile - you could even do it via speaker and mic.
WoW Wow and may I say WOW!!! So still not sure how to send yet but connected via blue tooth to my X6100 and was receiving great. TO, in the intro did you connect your 6100 using a cable? If so what kind did you use. BTW I was using a old Samsung phone. Thanks this was another one of you enlightening videos. De Roger w8rlp
I used a USB-C to USB-C cable, thanks!
nice Thank You
You're welcome!
What is oldest android it will work on? I don’t have android and I figured I could get one from a pawnshop and just use for this.
I don't know, give it a shot!
Works fine on Android 10 on Samsung SM-G965F.
@ Good News!
It would not start on Android 5.1
I have to dig up an old android phone now, right now!
I have a few... or you can get one at your local gas station!
@@temporarilyoffline I have drawers full of phones! Our gas stations aren’t as well stocked as in the US 😂
How to upload qso ? No information!
He is still working on the software, ots looking very promising.
How to get this working with ftdx10?
I don't have one to play with, but plug in a USB cable and give it a shot.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. would it be selfish to hope the developer supports JS8 also?
If we share the same wish, then its not selfish, right?
If a phone can do this, Windows devs need to get on the ball!
Right!
That’s cool. I’ll need to get this on the android tablet
This would be great on an android tablet!
WOW! Impressive indeed! Love the piano background .... 73- KF6IF
Glad you enjoyed it
Is anyone else concerned about installing executables from China?
There's from "China" and then there is from "A Person (In China)" which is the case here. Either way, its voluntary and many people have used it without any known issues. It can be used without an internet connection, on a $25 burner phone from walmart, using a fake google account (or none, since its an APK download). To be fair, if you're worried about spying, the US Government is doing it... and so is google, apple, microsoft, etc. We aren't safe/free anymore.
Great video, but PLEASE get rid of the annoying audio. You don't need it, and it interferes with your voice.
I meant annoying MUSIC, not audio - sorry.
Got it, thanks!
This Looks Amazing! I hope for an App on Ios 73 From Germany
Look up SDRControl on the App Store, it already exists, but I think its ipad and macos only.
@Koko Henker@@temporarilyoffline they recently published sdr control for the iPhone as well, but it’s a separate purchase, meaning my iPad purchase don’t apply to the iPhone version. 👍
@@temporarilyoffline Do SDRControll works with the X6100 from Xiegu?
@kokohenker9439 no, only certain icom models that have built in network servers.
@@temporarilyoffline thanks then i must test the App @ my android device. 73
They need to make this for iPhone. Ty for showing us this.
Look up SDRControl for iphone
@@temporarilyoffline Thank you
You're welcome. SDRControl does voice QSOs also, but only works with a select few icom radios.
The dynamic mapping feature is awesome! Hope to see the app for IOS in the future. 73 de KD^UYK (Tim)
My favorite!
Terrific! Today I made a contact with a Galaxy Tablet headphone output connected to a KX3 microphone input. KX3 set to VOX. Just one cable! The KX3 speaker provided audio to the tablet microphone and did a pretty good job of decoding! de Wayne W5GIE
I've seen decodes like that before. Pretty amazing stuff!
Very nice, very nice! Looks very well put together. Thanks for the video breakdown and sharing! 👍📻⚡TFBA🤘Tom - WA7FLY
Thank you! Cheers!
@@temporarilyoffline Just realized too ... FT8CN + QDX = potential extra awesomeness! 👍❤🤘
@@Tommy_Boy. Right!
I am glad you keep us all aware of the new stuff. I can't keep up, but it's great to have a comprehensive understanding thanks to you. 73 de K0WHW @Bill-HRT
