VA7SHG - WoAD Winlink on AnDroid

With nothing but an Android tablet, an HT and a TNC, you too can send and receive Winlink messages, thanks to WoAD, Winlink on Android, developed by Andrew VA7YAA. If you're interested, give it a try and visit his site here:

Sweet, I have been having trouble with my MobiLink TNc and Winlink. Hopefully get it working 100%

[@jimshaggy]

Good luck. It worked pretty slick for me, though I previously had the Mobilinkd working with AprsDroid on the same tablet.

[@mtbeers1670]

This looks good need a good document to set up the mobilinkd to take away the confusion. I will be making on in the next week. Ka9zrz

I'm looking to do this buy with a digirig and USB cable from phone. Really struggling

[@groundzero.]

wouldn't a cable from radio to tablet with WoAD do the same? does the tnc just link the two over bluetooth?

[@jimshaggy]

Sort of, you’d still have to take care of PTT. In my experience, using VOX for packet isn’t ideal.

Is it possible to make a video configuring for HF operation

[@jimshaggy]

I have not tried it on HF yet, so that should be something I try and make a video. The program I think I would use is ARDOP.

How far are you from the winlink gate when you reach it from a handheld radio and without an external antenna? Great movie. 73!

[@jimshaggy]

Thanks for watching! I have my own RMS at my QTH that I was accessing, otherwise, you're correct, I would need to get my antenna outside. 73!

[@RegNatarajan]

Really appreciate that you made this video. I've never been a big Winlink fan but it looks like I should take another look. VA7ZEB

Good video. I watched it last night, read the documentation and downloaded and installed the software. Had it working with my TH-D74 over Bluetooth in less than 1/2 and hour. Thanks for the assist. Randy KAØAZS

[@brianchapnick1705]

i would like to know more abt your experience with the d74

[@KM4ACK]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Is it capable of ARDOP connections as well? Looks like a sweet app!

[@andrewwalker5972]

ARDOP is currently supported through a TCP/IP connection to the ARDOP virtual TNC.

Excellent!! Downloaded on my fire tablet and phone. 73 de KF7VUT

I wish we could see the screen better

[@jimshaggy]

Yeah, sorry about that. I don't have the gear to directly capture my tablet's screen. I tried to put the text on the screen as title bars where it wasn't clear.

Just tried to download. Google user content unavailable, access denied

[@shilothompson7672]

Update: found the app in the Play store. Paid the $8 fee and it works.

[@va7dgp]

Destination Address is what I'm missing in my setup. I to find that on my Cell.

[@va7dgp]

I've set up auto-connect for 30 min to test.
