There is now an Android APP for Winlink called WoAD (Winlink over AnDroid).<\/p>\n
In the past week I’ve managed to successfully use it to send\/receive Winlink messages using my Android tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8″ 2019) and my Kenwood TH-D74, TH-D72 and TM-D710A APRS radios with built in TNCs.<\/p>\n
The TH-D74 was the easiest with Bluetooth.<\/p>\n
The TH-D72 was almost as easy using the programming cable and an OTG adapter<\/a> for my tablet (There is a TH-D72 port setting built in specifying band A or B).<\/p>\n There’s currently no documentation for the TM-D710, but I figured what the heck. I hooked my PG-5G programming cable<\/a> to the control head, hooked that to a Serial-USB convertor cable, hooked that to an OTG adapter, and then hooked that to the tablet. Worked right away.<\/p>\n All radios had their TNCs in Packet 1200 mode.<\/p>\n The USB connections seem a little finicky at times, but nothing that a unplug\/plug or App restart won’t fix.<\/p>\n Used the TH-D74 Tablet combo to send my check-in message in the 8 May Red Cross Winlink drill.<\/p>\n However, this is not just for Kenwood radios. It will work on Telnet and has an ARDOP option I have not tested. Other users have used it with the Mobilinkd Bluetooth TNC<\/a> connected to a standard HT<\/a>. There are several YouTube videos about using this App. Search using “WoAD Winlink”.<\/p>\n The App is <\/span><\/span><\/span>available in the Google Play Store<\/a> for a small fee. You can also download a beta version APK from the WoAD website and install it manually, but you will not be able to receive automatic updates.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Their website is: https:\/\/woad.sumusltd.com\/<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0They also have a WoAD Support Group<\/a> on Google<\/p>\n
