With Doozy for Android, you can make QSOs using your Android phone over D-STAR (DEXTRA, DCS, and XLX), without the need for a hotspot. Simply connect your ICOM ID-52Plus to your Android phone via Bluetooth and link up with your favorite D-STAR reflector or repeater.

Note: DPLUS (REF) is not supported, as I am blocked on all DPLUS reflectors. Because of this, I see no reason to implement support for that protocol.

Hardware requirements

  • Android phone with version 10+
  • ICOM ID-52Plus (Not other models!)

Key features 

  • Direct D-STAR QSOs: Connect your ICOM ID-52Plus to your Android device without needing a hotspot.
  • Background Operation: Run Doozy for Android in the background. Remember to close the app when finished.
  • Favorites List: Easily create and manage a list of your preferred D-STAR reflectors.
  • Android Widget: Monitor QSO and reflector status directly from your home screen.
  • ‘Last Heard’ Feature: Look up calls at radioid.net.
  • DSTAR APRS(Experimental): Sent DSTAR GPS information to aprs.fi
  • Switch reflector Switch reflector from your radio or Android phone

Pairing

  • On your Android device, pair the ICOM ID-52Plus. ( Not from your ICOM to your phone! )
  • Start Doozy for Android and switch the OFF/ON button to ON.
  • After a few seconds, your radio is connected.

Have fun!
