[WoAD Support]

WoAD v1.5.1 is now available for download at https://woad.sumusltd.com/download

Please note that this version requires at least Android 4.4 (API 19).

Changes in this version include:

• Add support for Packet Audio FSK, 9600 bps modulation
• Fix reporting of longitude in APRS NMEA $GPRMC sentence
• Fix reporting of date and time in APRS NMEA $GPRMC sentence
• Fix reporting of message in APRS Mic-E sentence
• Fix reporting of longitude E/W in APRS Mic-E sentence
• Update Winlink standard templates (1.0.251)
  

With regard to support for FSK 9600 bps, it is important to understand that this modulation will not work if the audio signal is sent to (received from) the microphone (speaker) connection of a radio. Instead a direct connection to the radio's modulator (discriminator) is required - which is made available on some radios as a 'data' port, though the terminology is by no means standard across manufacturers. The reason for this is that the usual audio processing done by the radio will effectively distort the signal, rendering it indecipherable. This is avoided when using a 'data' port.

The latest version has already rolled out on the Google Play Store.

Please let me know if you encounter any problems.

I uninstalled the app on my phone and went to the playstore and reinstalled it and it worked.

Hi Bill,

At present the apk and Play Store versions of WoAD are signed differently, so if you want to switch from one to the other you need to uninstall first. If you've installed from the Play Store I would recommend just waiting for the update to roll out there. This can take a few days as Google does internal testing before making the update available and even after that there may be a couple of further days before all devices are offered the update.

All the best,

Andrew
