Description

Ham Utility is one of those must have apps for all ham radio operators and swl's.

Features:

*Frequency Band Plan (Including US)
* Q-Codes (never forget to say the right Q Code)
*Antenna Calculator
*Solar Data (Showing a host of information including calculated band conditions)
*Morse Code chart and KEY

An essential part of this app is the antenna calculator. If you need to make an antenna in a hurry, simple type in the desired TX frequency and at a click of a button antenna designs for Dipole and Vertical antennas are displayed.

Forgot your Q-Codes? Simply scroll through the database of Q-Codes to refresh your memory.

Now you can test your morse skills, or learn the morse code using the handy inbuilt KEY and morse code chart.

Pretty bad..

The band plan information is inaccurate and incorrect. Could use more features like DX cluster, FCC RF exposure calculator, etc. For a pay app, should be more useful.

Wait for a fix before upgrading

Upgraded from an older version and now menu icons are invisible on iPhone 6, latest iOS 9.2. I tried uninstalling and re-installing with no success.

Check your Settings

Go to Settings/ General/ Accessibility/ Increase Contrast and make sure your Reduce Transparency is turned OFF. This, for me, fixed the problem of not being able to see the main menu. Only gave 4 stars because the app should detect and account for this somehow, but I did send the developer an email describing what I did to fix it.
