I just joined and am posting to let others know of how I got my Digirig Mobile w/ FT-857D and APRSdroid working.
I’ve been struggling for weeks with this, and finally got it working.
This works with the latest APRSdroid release.
You can download the “current” APK here:
https://aprsdroid.org/download/
In APRSdroid:
Audio (AFSK)
*Make sure you “Start Tracking” so that the app actually decodes the incoming packets.
On your Yaesu radio:
ENSURE THAT DIG VOX is set above 0.
USE FM MODE, DO NOT USE PACKET OR ANY OTHER MODE.
Hope that helps someone else.
The key for me was using AFSK on APRSdroid.
Also DIG VOX is key, as well as using FM mode instead of Digital or Packet.
At least for me, these settings aren’t obvious and aren’t common to using the Digirig with your laptop.
Hope this helps!
