Ham radio Android Apps
I have been using a Droid for a little over a year now. So I have accumulated a few android apps. The following is a list that I have loaded for Ham Radio use and a few that I haven’t tried yet.
Loaded:
Callsign DB – Looks up call signs
EchoLink – Let’s you connect to Echo Link on your Droid
ElectroDroid– Very similar to Electronics Assistant only for your Droid
Ham – Call sign lookup and Solar Conditions
HFBeacon – Informs user which HF Propagation beacon is transmitting at the present time
IRLP Finder – Locate the nearest IRLP node to near your location
Scanner Radio – Listen to online radios, including ham repeaters using your Droid.
Some I haven’t tried:
Signals – Reference for 10 signals, Q-Signals, Morse Code, etc.
Ham Radio Study Guide – Amateur Radio Question Pool
HamSatDroid – Amateur Radio satellite pass prediction
Amateur Radio Call Log – Basic Ham Radio Call Log
EchoLink Finder – Find the nearest EchoLink Node
QTH Locator – Calculates and displays your current QTH Locator
Morse Trainer Light – Learn or improve morse code
Grid Locator – Locate Maidenhead Grid Location
NCDXF Beacon – Monitor NCDXF beacons
PalmVE – Take sample Amateur Radio exams and locate VE testing sessions
QSL Mobile Ham Radio – Functions include GeoLocation, Call Sign searches, etc.
HamLog – another logging program
DX Cluster – Live DX spots on your Droid
AE Morse Code Tutor – Learn Morse Code
QTH Locator – Displays current QTH using google maps
APRSdroid – Allows reporting of your position to APRS-IS networks
There are more available, just do a search for Ham Radio in the Android Market and you can download most of these for free.
I have a droid tablet that the android app store says I don’t have a droid phone and wont download any of the ham apps. Any way you could send me the .apk files I can copy on manually?
Thanks,

I haven’t used the site, so I can’t vouch for the safety of it. Look at http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/apps.
You seem to be able to download most of the apps there as .apk files.

Does any one have the apk file for the arrl repeater directory beta version?
You might also try Ham Finder, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kd7uiy.hamfinder . It’s a nifty tool to figure out where you are (County, State, Country, DXCC, GridSquare), as well as a decent logging tool.
