@KA7O #rattlegram looks interesting. The demo audio on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/shorts/PbRfXTfnlf8 fits a lot of text into a short transmission.
I feel better about a radio that's piping audio into a laptop than having to fool with having a phone/tablet for receive, for some reason. But seems like it has potential. Thanks for making me take another look at it!
Yesterday I struggled to get #RattleGram to work transmitting via USB (i.e. not mic) when the #FT991A was set to 2m FM. But now I’ve figured it out.
I have not yet tested whether all 4 of these things needed to be set.
Stay tuned for me to whine that nobody can seem to hear me talking into the hand mic. LOL
why PWAs? Because simple, clean, and completed apps are difficult to get and then keep in the app stores.
This is due to demands for "updates for updates sake" to "prove you are an active developer".
There's not enough value in this for simple, clean, completed apps and utilities. PWA are a very good alternative for utility, scheduling, and tech demo apps (like #rattlegram and #ribbit)
A lot of PWA will be junk. So are many app store products.
It was another fantastic week in #opensource #digital #radio. I call this type of work OSDR.
There's #ribbit and #rattlegram, #Haifuraiya, #rfbitbanger, and two more projects without snazzy names that are coming together rapidly.
That's just a part of what is going on at @OpenResearchIns
And there is so much more out there. Tools development, #AI, free tutorials on nearly any subject, and (supply chain permitting) cheap computing and components.
It's a great time to do this sort of work.
Thank you so much for those that have donated to #rattlegram continuing development. It means the world to all of us at @OpenResearchIns to get so much honest and authentic support from the community.
While the financial support is deeply appreciated, we value your time, expertise, engagement, and attention much more.

The #rattlegram IoS app for #ribbit was just accepted for testflight.
If you are part of the test team, thank you very much from all of us at @OpenResearchIns
Rattlegram is on track to be a very successful communications product with applications in #hamradio and tactical deployments.

Your #rattlegram a rather interesting #hamradio app for "data transfer via acoustic coupling to a HF rig". I would like to get it installed on my Android phone.
I don't have a Google account active on my phone, hence no play store access.
What is your recommendation where to get the app? (I already checked Fdroid.)
