Description

The CW Beacon app generates CW customized audio signals that can be sent periodically. By monitoring the reception of those messages on reverse beacon networks, you can verify how good is the performance of your radio setup (radio+antenna) and/or popagation conditions over different bands.

This app is intended for patented ham radio operators and should be used in conjunction with a tranceiver using its microphone (audio in) port.

The default message format is:

BCN DE # @ &

Where:
# in your call sign (add /B to be recognized as a beacon)
@ is your WWL locator grid
& is a custom message

For example:

BCN DE IU4APC/B JN64DD QSL IU4APC AT YAHOO.COM

To use the app all you have to do is:

1) Set the message (red chars). You can use prosigns for it. # for call, @ for locator and & for a custom message. The line with the orange chars shows the message that will be sent.

2) Set the call, locator and a custom message. The locator can be automatically calculated by pressing the GPS Button.

3) Set the WPM speed.

4) Set a custom frame size (the number of minutes between Each message send) or leave the automatically calculate suggested minimum value.

5) Set the audio Frequency.

6) Press START To immediately start sending the CW message

7) Press the REPORTS Button to open the reversebeacon.net page with REPORTS showing where your message has been heard.

NOTE:
The STEREO checkbox enables the sending of dits and dahs on different audio channels. This can be used to drive external hardware to emulate a real paddle.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
