[Lowfer] Android Apps for QRSS?

[K2ORS]

Hi John,

   Doubtless that this would be a very small niche market but given the fact 
that there are several morse, psk, and rtty programs out there for the 
Android and I-Phone someone must be writting these apps, probably a ham who 
happens to be an Android programmer.  I imagine whoever is doing this is 
doing it as a hobby rather than a business. Since they have already figured 
out how to display a waterfall it is most likely just a question of 
adjusting the sampling and scrolling rate to make it usable for QRSS.
I'll try contacting some of these developers and see what they say .
