About Packet Pad

Packet Pad lets you view Packet Radio transmissions on your iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. Just set it next to your radio, tune in a Packet frequency, and watch the decodes. Or for even better quality decodes, connect a patch cable from your radio's audio output to the microphone jack, or a USB sound device plugged into the USB-C port of your device.

Raw APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) packets are also displayed.

You can also save your received text to view later, or transfer to your computer via iTunes.

Note: Only 1200 baud packet is decoded. The app is receive only, packets are not transmitted.

Just what I needed

All I needed to do was use the microphone on my phone to decode the aprs packets coming in over my radio. Tried about a dozen apps that said they could do this until I found this one. $3 well spent!

I was ready to write a trash review until I plugged the iPad directly to the rig’s audio. Now it works after a year of non-decoding 😺
