[Elecraft] Android App for CW

[Mark via Elecraft]

I tried several of these apps, but none of them really did what I wanted.  I finally recorded a separate ringtone for each person I wanted by using the Samsung Voice Recorder on my Galaxy S5.  I  used the sidetone from my KX3 and a CW Touch Keyer to eliminate “paddle clatter”.  I suppose you could hook the KX3 audio directly into the S5 mic input, but I did it the easy way and just set the phone next to the radio, hit record, and started sending.


Using this technique, I can keep the ringtone short (i.e. AMY, KELLY, etc.).  I find that it is much less confusing when standing in the supermarket checkout line.  It isn't automatic, though, and you must assign each recorded ringtone file to the caller name in your contacts list.
