WA0ITP
Our own David Cripe has created a QRPspots app for the Android operating system.
Now QRPspots can be accessed from any of your Android devices, how cool is that? Download your free copy here http://www.appsgeyser.com/getwidget/QRPSPOTS/ pull it up on your Smartphone, and make a post to try it out. Thank you Dave. ---------------------------------- I love this radio stuff ! 72 WA�ITP www.wa0itp.com www.4sqrp.com www.qrpspots.com

OK, I'll bite and show my modern device ignorance. ;-)
Terry if you see this first you can disregard my direct email. I'm going to
go ahead and embarrass myself. This is basically a copy of an offlist email I
sent Terry.
What the difference in the new QRPSPOTS app and just doing it direct
from my android cell phone? I've been accessing QRPSPOTS from my android cell
phone (Samsung Galaxy II 4g) for over a year now. While I know a little
bit about antennas and radios, I'm not a computer/cell phone/android person. It
is a cool app and it may be that all android devices can't access that page like
the Galaxy does?
It might be a simple or basic question but I am just curious to
know the difference.
I just did a very quick and simple test post using my cell direct first and
then via the new app and don't see any operational or speed differences.
Cheerfully awaiting the most obvious and embarrassing answer,

Hi, I wondered the same thing when I saw that. I have one of those "smart alec" phones but I just use my computer. I have used the phone for accessing web pages... so.. What is the attraction? 73, Bill KU8H

I guess any phone with a browser can get to QRPSpots.
For the iPhone though, there is an app called HamLog that has a button to take you directly there. HamLog is a cool program allowing simple logging and the ability to email an ADIF of your log to your main PC. In addition, there are lots of other functions under "Tools", including QRPSpots. 72- Nick, WA5BDU

I'll take a stab at this. I've only had my Android tablet (Google Nexus 7) since Christmas, so I still have a lot to learn.

It appears to me that you can access the internet and web pages with a smart phone or tablet, but the screen typically is much smaller and it is challenging to move around the page and zoom in and enter data, etc. A well designed app is typically formatted for the smaller screen and makes use of some of the very neat features of the phone or tablet such as auto-rotation for portrait or landscape, GPS positioning so the app knows where you are, screen zoom, etc. A well written app is typically much easier than accessing via the web. And it provides easy access Many websites can sense your browser type and automatically route you to a "mobile' website designed for smaller devices. Kinda a cross between a normal wesite and an app. QRZ.com even has an Android app - QRZDROID - t access callsigns quickly and in a simple format. Hope that helps.

I also use Hamlog,NKCCluster, and Morse code (for public viewing decodes
cw) on my Samson Galaxy.
It interfaces well with the KX3 via Pigtail.

Thanks Mike,
That makes sense. My phone does all of that via the web and at about the
same speed, but I do notice the apps are accessing QRZ and some of the clusters
differently. I've just noticed that after playing with the new QRPSPOTS app. I
think if I were in a remote areas where there was no 3g/4g or WI-FI the app woud
do far better than the direct method. It seems that way anyhow. I'll eventually
test it this weekend from some sites I know I don't normally get web access from
with the Galaxy.
Thanks for the info.

Hello,

I just installed the qrpspots on my Nexus it works partly fine. Only my call doesn't show up although it was listed on the rbn-Network. Uuups, I just checked also the http://qrpspots.com/ and there my call sign was also not displayed. If I remember correctly ... once upon a time it worked ;-)

Awesome. Works
perfect on my rooted Note :) Even allows me to enter 600 meter
data. That will be useful later when we get the band as Amateur
and I am out running portable QRP in the parks with my tiny
antenna ;) Mike-WE0H
