That "very soon" is <font size="-1">evidently 2017 which is a ways

. Even then, I think I was rightly corrected by Tom Hayward that
there is a lot more to Chirp than just Python. It also needs
PyGTK where "Py" is for Python and "GTK" is the GUI widgets that
powers the Gnome Xwindows environment. I didn't find much for
this required and that makes sense as that really takes Android in
a direction that Google probably doesn't want.<br>
<br>
To the Fldigi point.. that HF digital modes program uses Fltk
(Fast Light Tool Kit) and native C++. Fltk depends on Xwindows
but Android doesn't use Xwindows. The following thread has more
details

but the synopsis is it's probably not going to happen. Btw, there
are several HF digital mode programs available on Google Play but
they are usually fixed single-mode apps like PSK31, RTTY, SSTV, WX
FAX, Navtex, APRS, etc.<br>
