RemoteFS connects to Freescan remote control server and allows viewing the display of and sending button presses to your scanner. It shows the main scanner display, volume/squelch values, signal/P25 levels, and status icons (HOLD, L/O, FUNC, LOW BATTERY, ONLINE). It also selects going through menus in the scanner with line highlighting.

You need to have Freescan able to connect to your scanner and configured for remote control. View the Freescan for iOS website guide, all the steps are basically the same, just use RemoteFS to control it from your Android device instead. This does not stream audio, this is only for remote control. This app is unofficial and is not affiliated with Freescan.
