I have used iFTx with a QMX+ doing a POTA, and it worked well. I cannot use iFTx with my mobile IC-7100 because ICOM does not support VOX on USB.
Love this. Have it on all my iOS devices and use it regularly. Would love to see FT2 incorporated into it.
It is rare that we have an application that works so phenomenally well out of the box with a radio. I’m using an FT – 891 with a DigiRig 891 and this application just works. Even better, I have a QMX QRP rig with a chameleon off-center fed dipole for backpacking trips. This set up this app on my iPhone make it for ultra portable operations. My question to the developer is this. Can you please try to figure out how to do JS8CALL or Winlink just like iFTX. That would be an absolute game changer! Keep up the great work.
App works in a basic sense, but needs basic CAT to trigger the PTT for RX. A USB-C cable betewwen the iPad and Xiegu x6200 results in audio going back and forth but you have to trigger the PTT manually. Less than ideal. One of the advantages of radios like this is the built in sound card and USB-C data flow and control. It doesn't have VOX so we're out of luck that way. Note that you can acoustically couple the iPad to the radio by simply setting the two near each other. The iPad decides the sound out of the radio speaker just fine, and the radio accepts the sound from the iPad, but only if you keybtge handset manually at the correct moment.
It doesnt work over bluetooth or cable. It inly works using iphones microphone.
This app works great. Use with Icom-7300, Signalink, and Ipad. This setup replaces HRD and PC. iFTx has no import capability so can’t use it for my master logbook which contains 8,500 contacts. Ham-Toolbox contains my master logbook. With this setup, iFTx can’t “see” which contacts I have already worked. ADI file import function would really be a plus for a really great product!
I cannot find the manual as shown in the screen grabs.
Can’t get it to TX with a digirig and a g90 on either my iPad Air 5th or iPhone 16 pro
Tried on my FT991 and kenwood ts690 with digirig doesn’t activate PTT absolutely no instructions whatsoever on how to use with these radios. Update: set your ft991a vox input to data and vox on F M-list on menu then it will work.
Being new to FT8 this app was easy Just wish it had an option to call different CQ for POTA or QSO parties that would make it more better but love the app and for what it does . Super happy
