# Introduction
2022-08-15 14:20:38 +00:00
**Turn your Android phone into real Amateur Radio HF/VHF/UHF APRS enabled Codec2 DV (digital voice) and/or FreeDV handheld transceiver.**
2022-08-15 14:20:00 +00:00
**Requires additional hardware (e.g. AFSK/LoRa), software (e.g. Direwolf) radio modem or analog transceiver with USB audio + VOX/USB CAT PTT control, such as MCHF or ICOM**

# Short Description
What you can do with this app:
2022-08-15 14:56:03 +00:00
- Use it with your KISS Bluetooth/BLE/USB/TCPIP hardware modem, such as LoRa/FSK/AFSK/etc, control its parameters by using "set hardware" KISS command
2022-08-15 14:49:21 +00:00
- Use it with KISS software modem using TCPIP, such as Direwolf
2022-08-15 14:56:03 +00:00
- Use it with your HF/VHF/UHF transceiver as a sound modem
2022-08-15 14:59:12 +00:00
- Use your phone as a software sound modem by using external USB OTG audio adapter (voice + data) or built-in phone speaker and mic (only data)
2022-08-15 15:19:39 +00:00
- Use your phone for FreeDV protocol voice communication together with HF transceiver, which supports USB OTG audio
- Control your external transceiver PTT by using USB serial CAT (or VOX if CAT PTT is not supported)
2022-08-16 08:25:04 +00:00
- Send and receive APRS position reports over FSK 300 (HF, TX only), AFSK1200 (VHF), FreeDV OFDM (HF)
2022-08-15 14:49:21 +00:00
- Send and receive APRS messages
- Send and receive raw Codec2 speech frames over KISS or inside APRS/AX.25 UI frames
2022-08-16 08:25:04 +00:00
- Use application as APRS digirepeater
2022-08-21 14:07:56 +00:00
- Use application as APRS-IS RX/TX iGate
