November 29 2025 – TEF Logger App

As outlined in a previous post by Guido Schotmans , connecting your TEF6686 to a local network is a straightforward process.
In this TEF Logger App setup, I am using a metal cased TEF6686 and a Deepelec DP-666.
The TEF Logger App does not run with a Headless TEF!
The Deepelec unit offers a superior Wi-Fi range compared to the metal-cased TEF6686, allowing the hotspot to be positioned up to approximately 1.5 meters away from the smartphone.

For enhanced flexibility, consider installing the TEF Logger App on your smartphone and connecting it to a mobile hotspot via the same device. This setup enables you to operate the app from virtually anywhere.

It also facilitates continuous logging while in a moving vehicle, making it a valuable tool for band analysis. Please remember to prioritise safety and stay attentive to the road.

Additionally, the TEF Logger App can be installed on a tablet if you prefer utilising a larger display.
Once the app is configured on your smartphone, transitioning to a tablet is seamless, allowing for an improved user experience: just connect the tablet to the hotspot and start the TEF Logger App on the tablet.

Download the TEF Logger App via this link.
Please note that you may see a security warning during installation and may need to temporarily disable device protection to complete the process.

The TEF Logger App is compatible exclusively with Android devices and requires a smartphone with relatively recent specifications.

Play video 1 featuring intro and settings.
Play video 2 featuring the map and streams.
Play video 3 featuring navigating the dial and logging.
Play video 4 featuring checking out the logs.

Logs (video 4) can also be downloaded to a computer and studied in detail by uploading them to these websites: URDS Map ViewerURDS to HTML Converter.

There are several other interesting applications available for your phone or tablet.
Consider exploring the FM-DX App and the FMDX Connector.

November 25 2025 – QIRX 5.0.2 update

An old and naughty bug was discovered and fixed in today’s 5.0.2 download.
In my case 10A DigiRadioAntwerp has a TII value of 01 01 for the Antwerpen/Century Center location.
When switching to 9A WDR Regional it also shows Antwerpen/Century Center for the 01 01 TII value and not Aachen/Stolberg. It also works the other way around showing Aachen on 10A.
Values like AZM, km and the map were always generated correctly.
Download the latest and fixed QIRX 5.0.2 by Clem Schmidt here.
