Just curious, any amateur radio operators in here?

I know radiocycle is one, but anyone else?  One big plus for me to get the Nexus 7 is having a microphone for Echolink. For now I use my DroidX for echolink when traveling, which is nice since I can use it without wifi, but still having it on the N7 will be a huge bonus.

Also any other ham radio related apps that are a must to install?

Drew:
Hey Sam, I am not a radio operator,  but I am curious to know about this app:

It is in the play store and I wondered if it could be used as a phone, per se, since we don't have 3/4g, or would TiKL be better?

Thanks!

I hadnt heard of zello but sounds like its more of a PA or CB type app for phones.  They compared themselves to Nextel which advertises their service as similar to a walkies talkie. 

This isn't related to Amateur radio per say nor will it allow you to place POTS phone calls from what I saw, but I hope Skype or Google Voice will allow calls to work through the N7.

samalex, what would be the advantage of using G Voice with the N7??
