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.
