Baofeng OLA Radio App
This week I picked up a Baofeng UV-5R Mini (it’s astounding). You can program it from your iPhone, iPad and M-Series Mac with the Ola Radio app. On the Mac, it shows up on the “iPhone & iPad Apps” tab.
Software updates this week
MacHamRadio.com reports Marcus (DL8MRE) and Jan Roskosch released numerous updates for their SDR Control apps this week for iPad, iPhone and Mac apps for Icom, Yaesu, Kenwood, FlexRadio and Elecraft. The site also reports WSPR Watch and KLog received updates.
