SmartSDR IOS Logging

in SmartSDR for iOS

Hello-

I recently transitioned from SmartSDR for Windows to IOS (using an IPad Pro).

The built-in logging feature seems fine, but during contesting I like having another separate window (on another monitor) for logging. Can anyone recommend a compatible program?

The same goes for FT8 contesting, but the built-in feature seems good. I know WSJT isn’t for IOS (yet) and I’m not thrilled about an emulator.

Thank you.

    Hi Scott -

    For the iPadOS world, I think you're pretty limited in good contesting software. While there are a some that claim to do contesting (SmartLogger, for example), I haven't seen any that integrate with SmartSDR for iOS. You'll be stuck manually entering frequencies, call signs, etc.

    Frankly, you might just look at getting a true Mac. Even a simple M1 Mac Mini runs SmartSDR beautifully, and opens up more possibilities, like SkookumLogger, and Software Defined Connectors, which are true contest logging apps.

    Good luck!

    You may want to consider getting a MacBook. The logging functionality built into SmartSDR for Mac is pretty impressive now and getting better. The logging function is iOS is a scaled down version. But, they use same log database in the cloud. So, if you enter a QSO on any apple device Mac, iPhone, iPad it is shared with all devices.
