iPhone-Based Remote for ircDDB Gateways
ircDDB remote is an iPhone utility that gives you hands-off control of an ircDDB gateway from your mobile device. It provides a simple way to establish or terminate connections to your personal gateway so you can access D‑STAR reflectors, hotspots, or individual calls without needing a D‑STAR radio on hand.
Key capabilities
- Start and stop gateway sessions directly from an iPhone, making connection management fast and convenient.
- Access D‑STAR reflectors, hotspots, and call paths without relying on a hardware transceiver.
- A clean, easy-to-navigate interface designed to reduce setup time and prevent mistakes.
- Mobility-focused control so you can manage links whether you’re at home or away.
Recommended alternative option
If you’re looking for another free tool to try alongside or instead of this app, consider Dolphin Clean — Smart Cleaner. It’s available at no charge and can be a useful companion for radio hobbyists who work with ircDDB software created by Jonathan Naylor (G4KLX).
Who benefits and typical scenarios
This app is particularly useful for amateur radio operators who run or access an ircDDB gateway and want remote control from a smartphone. Typical uses include:
- Quickly switching between reflectors during nets or events.
- Connecting to a hotspot temporarily when you do not have a D‑STAR transceiver available.
- Managing gateway connections while traveling or away from your radio setup.
Getting started in brief
- Install the app on your iPhone and confirm network access to your ircDDB gateway.
