Being new to Android devices, I couldn't figure out some things with an old Chinese clone (v2.3.6) and new Acer (v4.2.2) smartphone (gifts never used until now). Wolf explained the various "menu" buttons for Android phones which was a hard to find hardware button labelled "Menu" on the old smartphone but the Acer's "menu" button is a nonsensical icon accessed with a quick double tap (other smartphones use a long press) of the multitask touch button and isn't covered in the Acer's manual at all! With Wolf's help I was able to get into all of the program and he explained some other program features. A big plus is the ability to snap a picture, select an area of it (or all), adjust the colour/tonal properties, scale it down to a 320 x 256 SSTV image with decent detail, then add a text overly all on the fly! Especially useful for EMCOMM when no Internet/Wi-Fi is available to get images to back to the EOC. The old Kenwood VC-H1 is replaced by the new DroidSSTV + Android smartphones! The tech support is what gives it a solid 5+ rating; Wolf patiently answered my all my questions which he probably has done umpteen times before for many others! FB OM ES 73 DIT DIT
