FT8 FT4 for QRP SOTA is soooo easy.
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.

Works kinda
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.
