TL;DR

Provides a simple Android app for Morse code / CW keying. My original goal was to provide iambic keying for the Quansheng UV-K5 with IJV 2.9R5 firmware via an All-In-One-Cable (AIOC) as the hardware intermediary. This can also be used as a backup CW key for rigs with a direct USB keying option, such as the QMX/QMX+ with firmware 1_03 or later. It can also be used as a practice sidetone oscillator. Developed with Android Studio in Java and C++.

Some details

Current keying options are straight key or iambic (A) mode. (Cootie and bug are implemented but not enabled as the UI needs work.) The keying is implemented as a background Java thread state machine. It works smoothly at >25 WPM running on a Pixel 9 phone.

The app provides local sidetone with raised cosine envelope via the Oboe native low-latency audio interface. When connected to a rig via USB device manager, local sidetone by default is disabled, but this can be controlled by setting. (Note that if the rig also provides a USB audio interface, you may need to manually set the audio output device back to the phone speaker.)

The app connects to USB serial hardware via usb-serial-for-android. The AIOC is designed to PTT when the DTR line is pulled; see AIOC documentation for details. Many rigs also support DTR keying. QMX/QMX+ with firmware 1_03 can have DTR keying enabled in settings and then it works the same as AIOC with this app. Additional USB/CAT based keying support could be added.
