First Formal Release of AndFLMSG!
AndFLMSG is a combination of Fldigi and Flmsg for portable devices running Android. The main objective of this development is to provide a low power highly-portable, as in mobile or backpack, Flmsg/Fldigi solution. Rigs like the Yaesu’s FT-817, Icom’s 703 and Elecraft’s KX3 would be the typical companions of the 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.
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.
The performance is good as the modems now coded in native C++ code for performance and is heavily based on the Fldigi modems code.
In regards to AndFLMSG, where I see the most practical use would be mostly for receiving bulletins and messages with nothing more than a smart phone and a VHF/UHF mobile or handheld transceiver, but I will be looking into an interface to my HF rigs as well.
Imagine no internet and phone service and you’re deployed to a shelter. On the way, you could have your smart phone somewhere near your radio speaker and recieve all the data on an incident you need without having to do anything but drive. Then when you get to the scene, you can review and/or forward the recieved data.
Let us know how your testing with AndFLMSG goes!
