Phone Apps

On the Rag Chew the other night we talked about phone apps. Below is a list of a few that were mentioned, if I forgot to list your favorite, feel free to add it in the comments.

  • DVSwitch This is great to GmrsLive, AllStar, DMR, YSF, NXDN, P25 and D-Star
  • DroidStar Does everything DVSwitch does but you can only setup one account
  • Net Scraper This app will show you all the current HAM nets going on.
  • BM Repeater Shows you all the BrandMeister hotspot in your area. Great if you need access to BrandMeister
  • EchoLink allows you to access many HAM repeaters over the internet.
  • HamAlerts lets you know when your buddy is working the HAM HF Bands
  • World Clock is nice to display Zulu time on your phone.

“RepeaterPhone” is another new iOS app that I occasionally now use with my AllStar nodes and GMRS node.  It can do AllStar, EchoLink, and private networks (along with GMRS nodes).  It is a paid app, but only $7…

I just looked for RepeaterPhone for the Android, nothing found.

Thx for the post I know there a lot iOS users here.

Thx for joining us on the rag chew.

While not a phone app, there is also a new program called “Transceive” for MacOS.  I’ve been using it on my MacBook Pro to monitor my AllStar nodes and GMRS node.  While you can talk through it, I mainly just use it to watch and listen and if I want to join in then I’ll grab one of my actual radios…

Very nice. Is there a way to get your GMRS Call in for your to show in your GMRS Node? I noticed all the node have your Ham call.
