Description

SDR Touch allows connecting hardware SDR receivers to Android via a USB cable. Turn any mobile phone or tablet with USB host/OTG support into a portable software defined radio scanner and a spectrum analyser. Driver support exist for RTL-SDR, NeSDR, SDRplay and HackRF.

Listen and record live over-the-air FM stereo radio stations with RDS, weather reports, emergency stations, taxi traffic, airplane communications, audio of analogue TV broadcasts, HAM radio amateurs, digital broadcasts and many more! Depending on hardware used, radio frequency coverage can span from 20 MHz to 2.2 GHz. SDR Touch demodulates broadcast FM, AM, narrowband FM, upper sideband (USB) and lower sideband (LSB) signals.

The built-in RDS monitor will allow exploring the hidden digital data feed that most commercial FM radio stations broadcast. This includes the station's program type (PTY), country of broadcast (ECC), date and time (CT), unique program identifier (PI), list of alternative frequencies (AF) and advanced statistics about the digital RDS carrier signal.

SDR Touch receives live radio via external USB hardware. The app runs offline and does not require a data plan or an internet connection! Take SDR Touch anywhere and find out what hides in the radio spectrum!

In order to run SDR Touch, you will need to plug your SDR receiver into the Android device using an USB OTG cable.

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.

1 ★Don't Buy! Works when you first install and the companion driver. Later prompts to buy, but navigation to refuse doesn't function, while purchasing works fine. Otherwise phone is locked up. Is this the secret to million + sales? I can write App to do this, could someone else? While app runs tuning has two modes. Those being, adjust bandwidth, and adjust frequency. Each mode works such is easy to use, but switching between modes only ever happens accidentally. I never figured out how to use.
2 ★Not working with sdr servers
5 ★Good
1 ★Pay? Well good luck with that. Enjoy 1 star.
1 ★Every time I touch the screen my filter width changes.I can't believe you are changing for this beta version of 😡
4 ★A little clunky and not the most intuitive but works.
1 ★It worked until I paid for it. Once the developer got their money, the app quit working. and of course doesn't want to help me get it working. Now it just crashes out. Skip this one. It's lame.
5 ★Not sure why some reviewers are down on this app - I've used it a few years and it's amazing for taking SDR dongles on holidays or into the great outdoors. It's pretty inexpensive yet lets you use a USB dongle or a networked TCP source, has a draggable spectrum display, adjustable bandwidth, various signal types/modes, lets you record audio and can also scan for active signals. What's not to like? My guess is the negative comments are from people who know very little about SDR!
3 ★Works well. I'm just not thrilled with the GUI.
