No kidding!\u00a0Mobile phones and tablets now have more than enough horsepower to decode most VOA Radiograms<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nicholas uses the free\u00a0AndFlmsg app for Android to decode.<\/a>\u00a0Note that AndFlmsg is not available in the Google Play store, you must manually install it using these directions.<\/a><\/p>\n
