The sim card tray only has a spot for one sim card. The bigger slot is for a micro SD card to expand your storage capacity. Also hamrs has an android app but like you said kinda a pain to log without a stand and keyboard.
USB 3.1PD (power delivery) automatically shakes hands and provides the voltage that the master demands. Might be as simple as a dropping resistor, that's common. 8:39
Its about the same size as the Evolve iii, Maestro laptop PC. So, packing both in your backpack, luggage, ammo can... is easy! And if you got the LTE card for the tablet, you got a Wifi Hot Spot! Then your PC has a Wifi connection, as well as integreation with each other! Freeing up your phone for safety measures! So other ham radio "programs" are in full use!
Hey Mike. It was good to meet you at the Monte Sano St Part Friday night. I hope you enjoyed the bottle of Heaven Hill Bottled in Bond I brought up. It was just a small thanks to you and others as a thanks for all the hours of entertainment you have provided for me. Dave KO4HRT.
Nice tablet and I thought your review was good and not biased. I think the tabet format is good for portable ops but the app availability is better on Windows than Android, so I'm using a Windows based tablet with detachable keyboard for portable ops. Battery, display, and CPU tech has come a long way in recent years from the older, slow, and battery killing systems of yesteryear.
Question, What was you're favourite video you made. The one that made me lath a lot is when you did a. Will it antenna video and you made a two meter antenna out of solder. That was a good funny video. Please do a video like that again.
For any device to send Bluetooth digital data to a Mac, the device requires a $5 security chip AND an Apple licen$e. You can pass audio data, like music and phones, but data is encypted. That's why OBD2 car diagnostic plugs can't work with Macs unless they have the extra cost chip and license. Nice, huh?
Now all we need is Android software for a few more digital modes. I can't remember if you said this thing has a built-in GPS but, if it does, it would be perfect for running APRSdroid.
It's got Location but I think that's just from your wifi or cell network if you have a sim installed. There isn't a built in GPS that I can find on this. Not that I care about APRS of course :)
@@hamradiotube Ha ha! You made that pretty clear. Just in case you decide you really need your buddies to track you driving down the interstate, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 that I bought a few years back has GPS.
Mike back in February, you did a final POTA at a park and you used some coax band pass filters. You have not commented on them since then. Please provide more information or do a video on them please.
I have talked about them many many times actually. Including last Monday. They are from ABR industries. Give them a call and tell them what you are looking for and they'll take care of you. Use code k8mrd10 and get 10% off too.
Nice! (Though still no cat.) I'll bet that the wall wart is a USB-PD (power delivery) device, and the voltage is negotiated with the device being powered over the USB cable. Since you have the strap, it should be easy to make something (that opens out to) the shape of an L that you stuff through the strap with the other end on the desk, to stand it up, adjusting by how far the other leg is through the strap. Does it do any multi touch stuff (if not, probably resistive rather than capacative touch)? I assume that there's an on screen keyboard. Can you touch type on it? That pencil is probably good for winter field day here in the north when you don't want to take off your mittens. Do the straight segments get shorter if you draw slower? If so, the rate at which it samples pen position may be low. The other possibility is the particular drawing program trying to save bits in the file (an RAM).
Oh yeah it's got all the multi touch capabilities and keyboard and all the features you'd expect in a tablet. I haven't tested the pen any more but it could be the program I'm using. It works well for everything else as far as selecting apps and scrolling between screens etc. I can't draw to save my life so it's not an avenue I could really go down.
@@hamradiotube I don't really think of the stylus for drawing. The only thing I use the s-pen on my galaxy note phone for is typing on that tiny keyboard on the phone screen. My fingers are too fat for long messages. But I guess the on screen keys on that tablet are plenty big enough, so, again, only when you don't want to take your gloves off.
Is HAMRS even ok with android tablets yet? I seem to recall there was an issue with some facility missing on tablets that prevented exporting the POTA logs for uploading, for example...
Thanks@@jerutley ! I booted my samsung tablet and, as you said, it's working fine now. Originally it didn't work and the app author said that tablets were missing a library and the program wouldn't work until the library was available on tablets. I guess it is now!
I'm using HAMRS to log POTA on my Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite... it works great, especially w a small Bluetooth keyboard. My real problem is getting it to work with my digirig so I can use Andflmsg... the tablet and the digirig and the app don't work well together at all, and I had really high hopes for using the tablet to do digital modes in the field

Apple guy might not know what Microsd and expanding storage means. Lol
That sim tray has a spot for a sim card and a micro sdcard not dual sim cards!

Plenty of aftermarket generic products for tablets, etc. Just search for what you need/want.

What!? No HAMRS??? Thanks for sharing. Looks like a solid piece of kit.

Great to meet you too. I'm pretty sure we killed that bottle the first night! It was good. Thanks so much for coming out. We had a lot of fun.
Mike they make a universal stand for tablets. That is my go to it's small fits in the bag I put my tablet in

For a second I thought you bought it to use FT8CN in the field 😅
FT8CN?
Mike I seen the description for the video and thought maybe Bob finally got you an RFinder lol. I guess no such luck
No, unfortunately not. I give him crap about that every time I see him though.
For $100 you can get an Evolve pc laptop that runs off of 12V which will run HAMRS, WSJT-X and pretty
much whatever you need for POTA
I got mine for $60
I got mine for $60.00 too. Slapped a 256 GB, micro sd card in it. Later added a USB & Ethernet hub. So its a ham radio monster! Stll about $100.00
@@chrissewell1608 Processor is a bit slow but it works.
Growing up, we never thought this is what our future ANDROID buddies would look like. The future is NOW. Dun-dun-dun-du-dun. Dun-dun-dun-du-dun.
Thank you for the review. Im also a ham. I would need a keyboard of some kind.
Now get a CW key...you can do it!..
Cell data is LTE only? Verizon, ATT, TMob or just one of them?

That stylus is an OLD style from like 10 years ago. I want to say that the name of the brand was Jot????

You can fine a 5 amp round pin to flat pin adaptor on the internet. Home Depot used to sell them. Don't know if they still do.
It's just a standard cellphone charger he can use any USB fast charger on that tablet!
hay print a stand for your tablet on your 3d printer. You might want to check it for a GPS before you load ham radio software.
I have absolutely zero intention of using this for ham radio. Not practical at all.

Android rocks. Time for people to realize they are overpaying.
APRSdroid ?

I have HAMRS running on a Samsung android tablet with no issues. Export to email works just fine.
Thank you@@jerutley ! I'll poke at my Samsung tablet version.
Ah, it must be that export to file is broken. I never tried export to email... Thanks, will try that.@@jerutley

No HAMRS icon? Tsk 🤣
I honestly don't see myself using this for ham radio. I've got the $60 laptop for that.
Could you out ft8cn and maybe do a video on it its only for Android devices
I don't even know what that is
FT8CN?
What about it???
@@hamradiotube Do you plan to try FT-8 on that tablet using Android specific FT8CN? That display size seems like it work well.
