You couldn&#8217;t be more wrong! The numbers of amateur <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>radio<\/strong> operators in the United States of America are growing quite nicely and Android phones have a part to play in that growth. Rather than replacing amateur radio, these new small computers that happen to also make expensive <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>phone<\/strong> calls can work with amateur <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>radio<\/strong> output to produce nice results!<\/p>\n<p>Recently I had to wait for my wife who had an eye appointment in Traverse City, MI. Rather than waste my time I decided to experiment with a new <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>phone<\/strong> app that I had downloaded and installed on my new Samsung Galaxy S III. The app was called Droid <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>PSK<\/strong>. <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>PSK<\/strong> is a digital mode on ham <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>radio<\/strong>. Originally designed to work with a ham <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>radio<\/strong> and a computer it works by changing keyboard input from the computer into digital sounds that are transmitted over the ham <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>radio<\/strong>. Once the digital sounds are received by another ham <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>radio<\/strong> another computer is used to decode the sounds back into <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>text<\/strong> on a computer screen that can be saved to a computer file. With an Android <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>phone<\/strong> configuration the Android <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>phone<\/strong> takes the place of the computer! Unlike a normal amateur <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>radio<\/strong> and computer configuration no cable is needed to connect the Android <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>phone<\/strong> to the ham <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>radio<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>My test was performed on the 15 meter band sitting in our truck in the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>parking<\/strong> <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>lot<\/strong> of my wife&#8217;s eye doctor&#8217;s office. To complicate matters I had all windows rolled down and there was a high school marching band practicing a short distance away. There were also cars and <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>people<\/strong> moving about the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>parking<\/strong> <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>lot<\/strong>. I assumed that the noises from outside the truck would affect the accuracy of the data translation but it seemed to have acceptable accuracy in that environment.<\/p>\n<p>Feeling a bit like 007 (James Bond) I simply held the microphone of the Android <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>phone<\/strong> near the speaker of the amateur <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>radio<\/strong>. I adjusted the volume of the ham <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>radio<\/strong> and adjusted the distance between the ham <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>radio<\/strong> speaker and the Android <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>phone<\/strong> microphone. I was quite easily able to decode the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>PSK<\/strong> signals into very readable <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>text<\/strong> on the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>phone<\/strong>. I was also able to copy the translated <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>text<\/strong> and e-mail it to myself to demonstrate that this functionality actually worked.<\/p>\n<p>While this configuration may seem like a very expensive toy it has some potential critical uses. One, for example, is during remote deployment as a member of organizations such as Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES) or Radio Amateur Civilian Emergency Services (RACES). It would be a <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>lot<\/strong> easier to carry a small Android <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>phone<\/strong> than it would be to carry a full-sized laptop or other computer. I do not think that this technology is available on tablet computers or notepads yet but if not I am sure it will be in the near future!<\/p>\n<p>I was quite impressed how two communication technologies could work together to produce a good result for the owner. Wouldn&#8217;t it be great if all <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>people<\/strong> could do the same thing?<\/p>\n<p>Jon Kreski &#8211; AB9NN &#8211; Extra class ham <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>radio<\/strong> license holder, the highest level license available.
