Anyone using any good mobile apps on their smart phone that are radio related?

I have echolink, Open APRS, Morse-It, 5-0 Radio for the iPhone

Open APRS is great, been using it for quite some time.

Morse It is great if you want to learn code or practice or just be a nerd like Moleculo :pop:

5-0 Radio is an online scanner, which actually has some stations that are streaming amateur radio repeaters. Try the free version, the pay version opens up more stations but I already have my local stations in the freebie, IF IT'S FREE, IT'S FOR ME!!!

Just installed echolink so I am waiting to find someone near a node and will try to make a call.
 

Satellite Tracker Plus, Dah Dit, 73 HamLog, and Callbook.

Another one that I use that isn't strictly Ham related is Pinout which gives pinout connections for various connector.

Scanner 911 is cool to for scanner listening.

MobileTAFL which looks up frequency licensing info in Canada.

What kind of phone?
 
None of these apps are available in the Android Marketplace...sad face :sad:

Although, I did find DroidSat (for satellite tracking) and MorseCoder (self-explanatory).


UPDATE: DroidSat fails completely on the Motorola Cliq (no review).

MorseCoder is a simple no frills app. Pros: It can convert text (w/numbers and punctuation) to tone, or screen flashes. It shows the character it's currently doing on the screen Cons: Code map only shows Code for A-Z, no numbers or punctuation. Can't convert code to text. Overall:I'm glad it was free.

Another UPDATE: I found more apps for Droid Phones (all FREE):

Ham: lets you view current solar data and calculated band conditions
Ham Radio Study: Lets you review Tech, Gen, and Extra question pools
EchoLink
Amateur Radio Call Log
HamSatDroid
IRLP FInder: Shows you the nearest IRLP node to your position (requires Google Maps and GPS)

There's also Morse Trainer for $1.50

So overall a pretty good selection for DROID users. I just did a search for Ham Radio and all of these apps popped up.

I use HamSatDroid all the time for my Evo. It works very good! I also use the Callsign lookup.
