Enhance Your D-STAR Experience with iOS™ App
The RS-MS1I (for iOS™ devices) lets your D-STAR transceiver wirelessly connect to a D-STAR transceiver and remotely set the DR functions, link with a map app and send/receive messages in the DV mode. In addition, pictures on an iOS™ device can be transmitted in the DV Fast Data mode or DV mode.
Share Pictures
Share Pictures Example
(Photo shows the RS-MS1A)
You can take pictures with your iOS™ device, or use stored pictures, and share them. Pictures of your shack, operating place in the field, rigs, or friends can be sent to other D-STAR transceivers that are also using the app.
Add images and make QSOs even more enjoyable.
Pictures can be sent in the DV Fast Data mode or conventional DV mode (with voice).
Text Messaging
Text messaging example
(Photo shows the RS-MS1A)
Text messaging enables you to chat with other D-STAR users that are using the app. Use the function when texiting is better than exchanging information over voice. By using iOS™ device, you can exchange messages in your preferred language.
DR Functions and Remote Setting

You can use it to manually set your transceiver when you are in a different area from your usual operating environment.
Call Sign List
The app enables you to edit call signs and names used in the DR function. Also, you can add a call sign and a name in the Call sign list at any time.
Receive History
In the DV mode, you can read and edit the received station’s information. Additional information from an Internet database, such as QRZ.com or APRS.fi, can be downloaded.
