Ham Radio Applications for Pocket PC Devices
Find logging tools, Morse code trainers, satellite trackers, and digital mode software for your Pocket PC.
Even though Pocket PCs are legacy devices, many hams still find them useful for portable amateur radio activity. These small, low-power computers can run specialized software, making them handy tools for operators in the field or for those who prefer a compact station setup. They offer a way to integrate basic logging, digital modes, and tracking functions without needing a full laptop.
Operators can find logging packages like MobileLog to record QSOs on the go, along with Morse code training and decoding utilities such as PPCMorse and CwGet PPC. For satellite operation, programs like SatCE and Tracksat provide real-time tracking and pass predictions. Additionally, tools like PocketDigi enable PSK, RTTY, and CW operation, turning a Pocket PC into a capable digital mode interface for portable stations.
