AndFLMSG
Android Phone + HT = ICS Form Communication
What does it do? Basically most of what the fully featured version on the PC does.
- Receive Flmsg formatted messages (any Form).- Forward any form message as-is over the radio in Flmsg format OR over the internet via email, instant messaging (Facebook, Tweeter, ...) or cloud services (Dropbox, Google drive...), print services (E.g. Google Cloud Print).
- 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”).
- Create new messages using any custom forms or the current set of "hard coded” forms.- Send created messages over the radio or internet.
- Define and save templates for facilitating the creation of new messages.
- Consult the activity log and the messages as-sent.
- 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.
Introduction
The main objective of this development is to provide a low power highly-portable, as in mobile or backpack, Flmsg/Fldigi solution.
VHF/UHF HT's without the need of a sound card can use an Android phone or tablet running AndFlmsg, thereby providing a low weight, low energy requirement, access to most Flmsg services.
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.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 addition of images and GPS data inclusion opens the usage to practical field reporting too.In a more developed configuration, for example with a 10” tablet connected to a Bluetooth or USB keyboard plus mouse, and maybe also with an audio interface, the operation we get, including data input, nears the performance and practicality of a laptop configuration but without the power consumption and cost of the later. Also, the data entry forms can be re-modeled independently of the display forms in order to match the screen real-estate of the target devices.
