So using wsjtx portable is very possible, and back packable. It puts a whole new aspect to microwave roaming in the US, SOTA and other portable activities. With smart devices where do you draw the line between smart phone and tablet, the only difference between a 5" smart phone and a 7" tablet is likely to be a USB and HDMI socket This whole area is moving very fast, and it would a shame if the opportunity to make wsjtx with fast modes available to all at low cost. Especially when to do it would require very little extra to be done as ARMhf is well catered for already--- > - We humans have the capability to do amazing things if we work together. > - Nós seres humanos temos a capacidade de fazer coisas incríveis se > trabalharmos juntos. > > On Wed, Jan 13, 2016 at 9:15 PM, Richard Bown <rich...@g8jvm.com> wrote: > > > On Wed, 13 Jan 2016 22:23:48 +0000 > > Bill Somerville <g4...@classdesign.com> wrote: > > > > > On 13/01/2016 22:10, Richard Bown wrote: > > > > I'm not going to get in to argument over it Bill. > > > > But if you want to open WSJTX up to everyone with a tablet cross > > compile and hope wont work. > > > > The old argument that tablets cant be used due to audio drivers is > > extinct. > > > Whoa!
