Amateur radio & Pocket pc (pda)

Postby M3ONL on Thu Jul 08, 2010 8:37 am

We all have desktops and laptops but im wondering how many of you use a pocket pc pda device for amateur radio, i'm using a Dell axim x5 to run satce for portable satellite work with my HT and it works extremely well.
What are you using on your pda's??

I have an Android phone and I've used this:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.scannerradio

It actually turns your phone into a scanner which pics up signals globally. I'm not 100% sure how it works but it appears to get audio feeds from people that hook up their scanner to the internet.

Not many sources in the UK but it works great if you want to listen to American cops and stuff :)

I use a Palm m515 with PocketAPRS software +Kenwood TH-D7E for APRS - very successfully on holidays in UK and all over Europe and the USA.

sounds good, surprising what you can do on a mobile phone or portable device nowadays.
