When I get my General and a capable radio, one of my interests is to be able to send and receive digital information from a field environment, using as little equipment as possible. I enjoy backpacking, so I would want to be able to send/receive text and photos over the air, in areas where I most likely would not have cell service.
Since hauling a laptop would not be feasible, but since I'd already have my iPhone with me (even in airplane mode to save battery), are there apps or software that will allow an iPhone to sync in with a radio (like maybe the IC-7200 which I've got my eye on), and perform the digital functions that a computer would perform?
I saw this software, and it appears that what I'm thinking can be done. But I wanted to ask you guys to see what you thought.
