My 12 year old flip-phone went SK on me. I wanted another flip phone but they told me they would have to special order one. HA, so now I have an android smart phone. still trying to learn it.
Just wondering, what apps are the favorites out there?
Saw heavens above, Some PSK, SSTV, and RTTY apps. A neat looking audio spectrum analyzer app.
Has anyone hooked up an SDR receiver to a smart phone? I think that is something I would like to try as everything is so portable, and I'd like to stay away from any app with ads.

ISS Detector Pro is the main app I use now. I like it because I can select just the sats I want to see via filters, and at a glance I can open it up and see what sats are coming in range in the next few hours, or days.
We have a page on apps to use to track sats on the following wiki:

I fully support the recommendation for ISS Detector Pro + the amateur package. Well worth the money.

If you download teamviewer on the shack computer and on your smartphone, you can run FT8 or whatever else digital program remotely using your cellphone. It is pretty neat to be making FT8 QSOs while walking around the mall or sitting in a doctor's office. If you have the right rig and right rig control software you can also do CW and SSB, although you might be limited to canned messages. I picked up a few new band and/or mode countries this year so far doing that.

Note: not trying to play ham cop. Isn't there supposed to be a control operator present at the radio? What happens when the rig or computer has an issue and locks up during transmit?

Floyd,
There only has to be an operator present at the control point. In this case he is controlling the rig with his phone, therefore it is the control point.

If you’re going portable then look into Dioptra as well, it similar to Theodolite for iOS. Dioptra isn’t as feature rich as Theodolite but they both do the basics perfectly, they give you location data and you can judge minimum elevation in any direction you point it.
