Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor Scott Gamble, who writes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the past several weeks I have been beta testing a new iOS app – Echo: Global SDR Receiver. Echo is the first SDR client custom-built natively for iOS, and launched today (March 31) in the App Store. I have found it to be a very capable listening companion and is very stable for long listening sessions spanning multiple SDR receivers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Echo provides connectivity to over 2,000 remote SDR receivers (KiwiSDR, OpenWebRX, WebSDR, and FM DX), accessible by multiple search capabilities including a world map display, offline frequency library, station logging, and, owing to its native iOS development, features full background audio for uninterrupted listening. The iOS version supports both iPhone and iPad. More information is available at https:\/\/echosdr.com.<\/p>\n

The App Store link is:\u00a0https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/echo-global-sdr-receiver\/id6759174390<\/a><\/p>\n

The developer, Mark Garrison, is very engaged with users, and there is an active Discord community of current Echo users.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
