How did I miss this video when I was testing FT8 with the truSDX for my Quetico Park activation last summer? I’m mostly an Apple guy but in the end went with FT8CN on Android using the USB CAT output of the truSDX. Will give it a go soon. 73
A timely video. Yesterday I was contemplating using my sadly neglected KX3 for POTA use. But to run FT8 would be too complicated. I’ve got used to running SDR connect mobile on the IC 705. But now there’s iFTx. I’m going to have to try it. Thanks de VO1OK.
Great review, just downloaded iFTX working great on my qmx transceiver just one question how do you change power settings from 10w to 5w. Have tried and clicked save but keeps going back to 10w any suggestions?
The cables are listed in the description. Mic level is untouched, I watch ALC during TX and adjust it manually on the iPhone. The rest of them I talk about in the video.
Very cool Vince! Now if I could use a usb c cable to plug my iPhone 15 directly into my QRP Labs QMX and run FT4 or FT8 directly between the two, that would be the bees knees …

How soon before someone comes up with a version of JS8-call!!!??
That is cool! Downloaded and going to give it a try on my mcHF qrp rig. Thanks for sharing Vince .
Did you get it to work on MCHF? I don’t think it has a VOX function. I can only get it to work if I manually do the PTT.
@@MNHAM73 yeah doesn’t work . Unfortunately the mcHF doesn’t have VOX -ugh

Thanks, I need to check this out!
I wonder how it will work with a QRP Labs QMX?
Can you show the setup settings on your KX3 and what cable you’re using from the radio to the iPhone?????

Thanks for the vid Vince! Have you tried it in the truck with your 857?

Not yet that's next up
Any advice or knowledge resources on how to wire the lighting cable to the mic jack on a larger radio like my IC-7200?
I would post this question on reddit.com/r/amateurradio, those folks figure stuff out usually
how are you streaming / recording the phone UI?

You can! Lightning to audio, camera or multimedia adapter I think it's called? VE6TD does it that way.
He needs to put a post about that on his web site!!
I found exactly what i was looking for: th-cam.com/video/TV_YUEA8z7Y/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hKm1yQqOoZ7s3QAg
I added a link in the description to KD7DTS' video where he lists the cables needed
