    @UAS_Pilot I do not have one of those to be able to test it out, however I dont believe it will work. The Bluetooth format is currently restricted to the RedBear BLE Mini, which is what is inside the BLE Repeater I sell.

    Thanks!

    Will the app work with the Event 38 Bluetooth repeater/bridge?

    Thanks
