About this APK

Radwave is an app by Radwave in the Tools category, listed since at least March 2022. It includes native code only for ARM 64-bit, so it won't install on phones that can only run 32-bit apps.

It asks for 10 permissions, 2 of them sensitive: precise location and approximate location. The app offers in-app purchases through Google Play.

What's new in v0.5.8

Now including Breakthrough Listen! Explore the spectrum to find Voyager 1 transmissions, and compare 'Oumuamua ON/OFF observations! More cloud based datasets coming soon. Interactive power spectral density plot to control spectrogram colors! Bug fix for controlling gain with remote rtl_tcp instance and other settings fixes.

Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Radwave makes it possible to interactively explore full resolution RF spectrum. You can look through massive datasets served from the cloud using just your phone or tablet, or use an RTL-SDR dongle and the RTL2832U driver app to collect data locally on your device and interactively explore in real time. You can dynamically zoom in and out in time and frequency, pause, and go back in time - all without losing any samples. If you find something cool, tag it and share with friends. Radwave’s cloud based datasets currently include data from Breakthrough Listen, including data from Voyager 1 and ‘Oumuamua. Radwave’s core technology provides low latency1 access to full resolution spectrograms created from the raw GUPPI files. By using intuitive pan/zoom gestures, you can easily explore the full resolution spectrum, manipulating time, frequency and power colorization dynamically. Coming soon are datasets collected from Radwave HQ for FM radio and NOAA weather satellites. Radwave core technology is its interactive real-time spectrogram/waterfall plot. It shows the entire spectrum - utilizing every sample2 - for the entire collection3. Frequencies are aligned over time as you change the RF center frequency4, helping you make sense of what you see. Learn more at www.radwave.com. Please note that Radwave does *NOT* currently support audio demodulation. This functionality is planned for a future release, but is not in the current version. 1 Cloud based datasets are currently hosted in AWS US East 1, so latency may vary geographically 2 Adjacent non-overlapping DFT windows 3 Up to device limitations 4 Alignment limited by buffer uncertainty We're in beta! We're launching in beta as a crowd funding method, but without you having to wait to have something usable. We'll be continuing to add features and functionality.

Radwave APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is Radwave free?

The APK is free to download, but the app offers in-app purchases through Google Play.

Is the Radwave APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is b8c00b93b073e16c2a0a53fc6f30ac6b.
