Android Software for Amateur Radio Operations
Find Android applications for APRS, Morse code, SDR, logging, and other ham radio activities on your mobile device.
Many ham radio operators use Android devices for a wide range of amateur radio activities, from portable operations to remote station control. These apps extend the capabilities of smartphones and tablets, making them useful tools for everyday QSOs, contesting, and specialized digital modes.
Operators can find various tools for Morse code practice, including trainers like the 25WPM Morse code trainer, and apps for decoding SSTV signals such as Robot36. There are also logging programs optimized for mobile use, like QSO Secretary, and utilities for monitoring propagation via the NCDXF Beacons. For those interested in APRS, apps like APRSdroid provide tracking and reporting features, while others enable remote control of SDRs or access to services like EchoLink and LoTW Look for QSL confirmations.

Protect your radio tower and solar charged battery power supply by sending the correct Morse code transmissions. Tap out alphanumeric characters in Morse code to prevent your radio station from being destroyed by the Morse code meteor attack! Meteors may be destroyed in any order. All levels start with a fully charged battery. Each DIT uses 1% battery power. Each DAH uses 3% battery power. Your battery charges at a nominal rate of 1% every 5 seconds, and total charge increases by 1% for every correct Morse code transmission. In addition, you have two solar panels that each contribute 1% to the battery charge rate. If your solar panels are destroyed, there are no replacements for that game. When your battery runs low, an SOS prosign bonus appears. Destroy this entity to recharge your battery.
