Hi Greg,
Thanks, I need to look into this as I have noticed that situation in a
couple of long exchanges.
One area I have had trouble with during development was the auto-screen
rotate feature of Android as this causes normally an application to restart.
I wonder if the two are linked or not, so any hint would be a plus as it is
not easy to reproduce.
Regarding the Wolphi interface it should work on most devices.
The phones can handle strait 3 pins jacks from earphones as well as 4 pins
audio out left, audio out right, Mic in and ground. Just note the unusual
position of the ground pin.
In the Andpskmail manual you can see in the simple non isolated interface
description the adaptation circuit and 4 way plug connection.
If your interface provides a VOX or your radio does you should be able to
make an adapter for it. Which model do you have?
Regarding the behaviour on RSID receipt, what behaviour did you expect?
If I remember well the PC version reverts back to the default mode every
minute which I find a nuisance personally but I can add an option in the
preferences.
All the best,
73, John
