9A1GS

First version of js8remote is uploaded to the Google play store. iOS version is also ready and it needs to be compiled and uploaded to the App store. My old iMac will get some electricity back after a long period of sleeping.

To set it up, in JS8call preferences, set UDP server IP to the IP address of your phone/tablet and under port please use port 2242.
