*Note this setup will be for starters on your LAN. Basically there are just a few steps to get this working: Since I demonstrated Pocket RXTX with my Icom IC-7600 and HRD, my review will be based on connecting the app in that manner.

I am running HRD 5.24.0.36 currently with my Icom IC-7600 and it worked fairly well. Lastly you can use Ham Radio Deluxe’s IP server capability to remote control just about any rig that is compatible with HRD it looks like. Additionally it can connect to online SDR’s over the internet so that you can listen to various servers (currently there is only one available, but I’m sure that will change with time). The app can connect directly to a few different Yaesu radios such as the FT-817, FT-857, and FT-897D using a Bluetooth interface. He has really done a great job writing this app even though it is officially in ALPHA status. Pocket RXTX is the brainchild of Dan Toma YO3GGX. The app can be downloaded for free on the Google Play store here. Today I ran across a fun little app on the Google Play store called Pocket RXTX that allows you to remotely control your rig using Ham Radio Deluxe’s IP server right on your Android phone or tablet!
