The WSPR Beacon App is made to send WSPR signals using your Android smartphone/tablet as a signal source. All you have to do is use the audio out of it and pair it with the audio in of your rig (and set it to VOX).

All you ha to do is:

3) Set the POWER LEVEL so that it matches your rig output power

4) Select the BAND (optional). This is only to have handy the frequency value to set on the rig.

5) Set the TX FRAMING. This allows you to set how ofter the WSPR will be sent. By default the WSPR is sent only once.
