![]() The big players like Tigertronics simply don’t understand the need for smaller, lighter all-in-one audio and CAT control interfaces. They don’t understand when the audio interface is as big as the radio, we’re doing something seriously wrong! ![]() Most of you already understand how needless wiring, weight, and mostly empty interface boxes annoy me to no end. We’ve seen the ZLP MiniproSC, XGGComms Digimode-4, the DRAWS Hat for the Raspberry Pi, and even made our own audio interface cables from time to time. Let us know how your testing with AndFLMSG goes!We are always on the lookout for audio & CAT control interfaces offering pragmatic benefits for the off-grid, EMCOMM and field radio operator. Then when you get to the scene, you can review and/or forward the recieved data. On the way, you could have your smart phone somewhere near your radio speaker and recieve all the data on an incident you need without having to do anything but drive. Imagine no internet and phone service and you're deployed to a shelter. In regards to AndFLMSG, where I see the most practical use would be mostly for receiving bulletins and messages with nothing more than a smart phone and a VHF/UHF mobile or handheld transceiver, but I will be looking into an interface to my HF rigs as well. The performance is good as the modems now coded in native C++ code for performance and is heavily based on the Fldigi modems code. The implemented modems are the FLMSG modems (including extra modes), that is all PSK/PSKR modes, including multi-carrier modes, some of the 8PSK modes, THOR, MFSK, OLIVIA, MT-63 and Domino-Ex modes. ![]() Consult the activity log and the messages as-sent. Define and save templates for facilitating the creation of new messages. Send created messages over the radio or internet. Create new messages using any custom forms or the current set of "hard coded” forms. Copy and edit received messages for replying or further forwarding (all custom forms plus the following “hard coded forms”: Blank form, Radiogram, IARU message, Plaintext, CSV, all ICS and HICS forms at present, plus the “Picture Form”). ) or cloud services (Dropbox, Google drive.), print services (E.g. Forward any form message as-is over the radio in Flmsg format OR over the internet via email, instant messaging (Facebook, Tweeter. Receive Flmsg formatted messages (any Form). What does it do? Basically most of what the fully featured version on the PC does. The addition of images and GPS data inclusion opens the usage to practical field reporting too. The inclusion of modes like MT-63 and long interleave MFSK modes allows audio coupling to be used effectively without the need for an audio interface. ![]() The integration of Internet sharing/forwarding makes this solution attractive as a relay option, possibly a mobile or portable station in a pertinent geographical location. Rigs like the Yaesu's FT-817, Icom's 703 and Elecraft's KX3 would be the typical companions of the Android phone or tablet running AndFlmsg, thereby providing a low weight, low energy requirement, access to most Flmsg services. The main objective of this development is to provide a low power highly-portable, as in mobile or backpack, Flmsg/Fldigi solution. AndFLMSG is a combination of Fldigi and Flmsg for portable devices running Android. ![]()
