Description

This App works with any FlexRadio firmware 1, 2 or 3, including the newest release

Official FlexRadio Systems® Client

SmartSDR is a full featured radio client that enables your iPad or iPhone to operate your FlexRadio device.

It is fully compatible to SmartSDR v1, v2 (including SmartLink) and v3 (including MultiFlex and SmartControl).

Please note: This App requires a FlexRadio Systems® Series-6000 Software Defined Radio (SDR) Device.

However, the App also contains a FlexRadio Simulator (Demo Mode) so you can try this App even without owning a FlexRadio. PLEASE NOTE: The Demo Mode audio is by far not as good as when connecting the App to a real FlexRadio. That quality is identical to SmartSDR for Windows.

Mostly good

It’s very nice to be able to control my flexradio from my ipad. Sitting on the deck or away from home. The iPad SmartSDR gives nearly complete functioning of the flex.

Held back on the final star as the user interface does not have any keyboard control. I cannot type in frequencies or use the arrow keys to tune across the bands. While the iPad is primarily a tap-device, the keyboard is a very common accessory and should be supported within the SmartSDR app.

Developer Response ,

Dear OM, thanks for your review. Unfortunately, there is no way to access these keys on iOS. I would wish it would be possible and in that case, I won't hesitate to support these keys but it is not possible. My suggestion is to use a MIDI controller like the DJ2GO which is supported by my App.

Remote Operating At It’s Best

I bought a Flex 6400M with idea of operating it remote when we were out RVing. The radio is great and the pc software works great too. But I have a tether speed limit of 5 Mbps and was concerned that would not handle the radio data very well. The iPhone version works so well that I use a HDMI cable to the 50” tv and I am enjoying the hobby on the road without putting up additional antennas. The software works great! The sound quality through my V1 airpods is superb too. I’m super happy with the software and highly recommend it. 73s KJ5WO

Double Payment

I am writing this to complain about a double payment required. I bought the app for my iPhone and then wanted to use it on my granddaughter’s iPad. I had bought her the iPad for Christmas last year and she has graciously loaned it to me to work remotely when we go to the lake. I have found that 82 year old eyes do better with a larger display. She has her own Apple ID and because it is different from mine, I can only use it if I pay another $65. Other than having to pay for it twice, I think it is a great app and I will gladly rate it five stars if I can use it without having to pay for it again. It is advertised to only have to pay once!

Developer Response ,

Roger,

You should have contacted me using the App included Contact developer feature. It is NEVER necessary to pay twice. BUT you will have to use the same Apple ID as all purchases are always tied to an Apple ID. Please contact me now and I will try to help.

Unfortunately, nobody contacted me so I can't help. A shame. Strange though!
