Revision as of 17:31, 18 January 2021

Since 3.16 there is also Android port of Tucnak available. Focused on tablets but can be used also on cell phones. Due touch control, not all features must be accessible.


Hardware requirements

ARRL DX contest on Samsung galaxy IIs

  • Android 2.3 (API level 9), version 3.16 requires 1.6 (API level 4).
  • Recommended screen resolution at least 640x480.
  • Lower resolution use 640x480 internally and output is scaled to native resolution. Tested 480x360, is usable but not optimal.
  • SD card with 'reasonable' capacity
  • Recommended internet access for DXC/KST

Install

Tucnak is not on Google Play. To install you must allow install of untrusted applications. Then download Tucnak APK package from http://tucnak.nagano.cz/download.php#android and install it manually.

Features not included

  • Sound recording
  • FFT spectrum display
  • Parallel port keying
  • Bluetooth devices because of no official support for BT from native code
  • Serial ports - maybe with alternative kernel with proper drivers

Limited support

  • USB devices (Davac4, Rotar4) - It is compiled but it seems it works only on rooted devices. User must be member of 'usb' group.
  • Hamlib - It is compiled but only usable rig type is 'NET rigctl'.

Touch control

To send F1 to F10, use FN key, numeric keys will switch to F's.
