Please Click for Pages at Kilo Three Triple R – K3RRR.Next would be a memory programmer for the FT857.Īs an IT professional and confirmed googlite, my term, and a recently minted HAM licensee, I can tell you android tablet's, smartphones, and chromebook are all about OS lite. In particular trying to program an EDACS RSM using a Radio Shack scanner. I have been working with FTDI drivers to control stuff off the USB port. That way knucklehead thieves don't steal the control head thinking he has the radio, the sun does not shine on the LCD heating and harming it and there is no announcement of the radio presence to the outside world.Īs for software, I have been playing with the Android software development kit. This leaves the radio with control plate secure and hidden. I tune the ATAS120 (only on the Durango) with an option button on the microphone. Using RXTX for droid, I can see what frequency I am on, the SWR, mode, band, signal level etc. Using a CAT5 cable I do the heavy remote control of the rig with the MH56 mic. The radio is either in the trunk or buried under the third row seat on the Durango. I use it in both my 73 Cuda and my Dodge Durango to remote control a FT857 on Bluetooth.
:lol:īottom line, yes droids are convenient form factors for listening to music, browsing the web, gmail, google maps, etc., but that's about it.Ĭlick to expand.I do not use it in the shack, but I do use it mobile. Yes, I admit to a certain bias against M$ and I'll gladly give my PayPal account to anyone who would like to contribute to my favorite charity, me. Convenient yes, powerful and flexible, no.
If the programs aren't out there for anything you want to do, you can contribute back to the community, the way computing should be.ĭroids are convenient form factors designed for specific tasks, device drivers are minimally supported, much like Wintel without the convenience. My suggestion is go with one of the nixes, iOS or Lintel, depending on your budget. You pay licensing for Wintel, and you can get Lintel with no licensing. IOS is UNIX under the covers on some powerful hardware.
They're not nearly as powerful as full fledged operating systems, iOS, Wintel, and Lintel. Click to expand.As an IT professional and confirmed googlite, my term, and a recently minted HAM licensee, I can tell you android tablet's, smartphones, and chromebook are all about OS lite.
