in SmartSDR for iOS
Hello, just ordered a new Flex 8400M.
I'm wondering if it would be advantageous to purchase an Apple iPad to use with the radio as well?
Currently I have Android devices and just browsing the software downloads etc., they seem to point toward IOS?

    The iOS, iPadOS and MacOS versions of SSDR by Marcus are all outstanding. I use all three. Using an iPad running it is definitely a rich experience. Quite reliable too and all three provide many features not found in Flex's SSDR including native FT8 and FT4. By the way, if you happen to be a CW person, the tiny CTR2-MIDI by Lynovation ( https://ctr2.lynovation.com/ctr2-midi/ ) provides an interface for a physical cw key too plus a bunch of convenience features. Works on all three versions.

    At the moment, there is RCForb for Android, but it is not feature rich. Stephen, N1SH is currently working on an Android version, so you might want to see what he comes up with.

    The Apple versions by Marcus are supposed to be excellent, but I have not seen them personally so I can't comment.

    The support freely given by Marcus is excellent, as well.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
