Description

[Features]
The RS-MS3A is an Android device application designed to expand the DV mode capability of a D-STAR transceiver using a Terminal or an Access Point mode.
These modes enable D-STAR operations by sending signals from the D-STAR transceiver over the Internet, even when that transceiver is out of range of a D-STAR repeater. The transceiver sends your voice signals using an Internet, LTE, or 5G network, through an Android device.

1. Terminal mode
By operating the D-STAR transceiver through the Android device, you can contact other D-STAR transceivers.
In the Terminal mode, the transceiver will not transmit an RF signal, even if [PTT] is held down, because the microphone audio signal is transmitted through an Internet, LTE, or 5G network.

2. Access Point mode
In this mode, the D-STAR transceiver functions as a Wireless LAN access point.
The D-STAR transceiver repeats the received signal from the Android device, to other D-STAR transceivers.
Refer to the instruction manual (PDF) for setting details. The instruction manual can be downloaded from the ICOM web site.

Note:
- This application operates on Android devices as a gateway server on the D-STAR system. Therefore, a public IP address must be set on either the Android device or the Wireless LAN router.
- Ask your mobile carrier or ISP for a public IP address. According to the contract, communication charges and/or communication packet limits may occur.
- Ask your mobile carrier, ISP, or manufacturer of your Android device or router about public IP setting details.
- ICOM does not guarantee the RS-MS3A will function with all Android devices.
- Turn OFF the Wireless LAN function when communicating through an LTE or 5G network.
- The RS-MS3A may not be usable due to conflicts with other applications installed on your Android device.
- The RS-MS3A may not be usable, even if your Android device supports the USB OTG host function.
- Depending on your Android device, the power that is supplied to the USB terminal may be interrupted while in the display sleep mode or the power saving mode. In that case, remove the “Screen timeout” check mark on the Application Setting screen of the RS-MS3A. Set the sleep function on your Android device to OFF, or to the longest time period.
- Operate your transceiver with the RS-MS3A in compliance with appropriate regulations.
- ICOM recommends that you operate them with a club station license.

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.

5 ★Works very well
5 ★Very good. Its easy to use and simply does the job.
1 ★This app should work via Bluetooth and should not require an expensive cable.

1 ★You are reading this review because you did what I did. You bought an icom dstar transceiver and found out that the repeater system is hot trash and when there is a repeater in the area the owner never gets off of the repeater so you can't connect to anything but local. Don't you worry you can buy a $75 cable and use your data plans with this app to access dstar. I HATE YOU NOW ICOM THE CABLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOLD WITH THE TRANSCEIVER. I live 10 miles from icom America and I'm having to use my data to connect to a reflector. I REALLY DO HATE YOU ICOM. I should have never purchased the 4100, and I'm glad my buddy talked me out of the 5100. WASTE OF MONEY.
