DXKeeper is comprehensive amateur logging software. DXLab Launcher makes it easy to control individual DXLab applications, or a specified group of DXLab applications. DXView presents a world map, upon which beam headings, stations you spot, the sun's position, and the solar terminator are continuously displayed. Pathfinder makes it easy to find QSL information from web-accessible sources like address and manager databases and country-specific callbooks. PropView uses VOACAP, ICEPAC, and IONCAP propagation prediction engines to forecast the min & max useable frequencies between two locations over 24 hours. SpotCollector is a free application that captures spots from up to four additional telnet-accessible DX Clusters, the DX Summit spotting network (via the #CQDX IRC channel) and local PacketCluster (via a TNC or the AGW soundcard packet engine). WinWarbler allows you to conduct QSOs in the PSK31, PSK63, PSK125, and RTTY modes using your soundcard's analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion functions. G4GLM Programs – provided by Dr G.L. Manning, G4GLM this is a suite of useful tools for amateur radio calculations. Great Circle Map - Produce your own Great Circle map with this program from SM3GSJ.

Following all edits, whether simple or complex, SD checks your complete log for consistency of dupes and multipliers, and instantly updates and re-scores all relevant QSOs. Try this on any other contest logger - and see the difference for yourself. SD is easy to use, with no multiple keystrokes for any logging or editing functions. The HF programs link to many Icom, Kenwood and Yaesu radios to follow band and mode changes, and to give instant frequency changes. UI-View – is a Windows APRS program. This application differs from most APRS software in that it isn't designed just to be used with TNCs in terminal mode. UI-View also supports TNCs in KISS mode, AGWPE host mode and BPQ host mode. The 32 bit version of UI-View also supports WA8DED/TF host mode, and the variant of it used in the SCS PTC-II and PTC-IIe. The host mode support means that UI-View can be used with an extremely wide range of packet hardware and allows up to 16 RF ports to be used. It can run as a full-featured internal intelligent digipeater with the TNC in KISS mode, and with modification to the UI-View2.INI file, supports the new WIDEn-N settings, and has full support for connecting to APRS servers on the Internet and running as an IGate or Internet Gateway. Developed by the late Roger Barker, G4IDE. WinDRM - Amateur Radio Digital Voice with high speed data transfer mode. WinGrid - IARU QTH Locator grid square distance and bearing calculator. This program calculates grid squares from latitudes and longitudes, the reverse, and calculates distances and headings from two sets of lat/long or grid squares. Also Includes: RF Safety Calculator Ver1.0 -This program calculates RF field strengths and compares them to ~1998 FCC safety standards. Power Loss / dB Calculator Ver2.0 - It calculates transmission line power loss and input/output power. Solar/Lunar Tracking Program Ver5.3 - This program locates the Sun and Moon in real time using a full set of ephemeris factors. P3T AO-40 Telemetry Program - This is a comprehensive program for logging, interpreting, and replaying the telemetry from AO-40. IPS Emulator for Windows - This is a fully functional emulator for IPS (Interpreter for Processor Systems) used on Phase3 amateur satellites. WSJT - Weak Signal Communication Software WSJT ("Weak Signal Communication, by K1JT") offers specific digital protocols optimized for meteor scatter, ionospheric scatter, and EME (moonbounce) at VHF/UHF, as well as HF skywave propagation. The program can decode fraction-of-a-second signals reflected from ionized meteor trails and steady signals 10 dB below the audible threshold. A WSJT6 User's Guide is also enclosed MAP65 implements a wideband, polarization-matching receiver for JT65 signals. It works together with Linrad (by SM5BSZ) and dual-polarization RF hardware to receive and decode all detectable JT65 signals in a 90kHz passband, matching the linear polarization angle of each one and producing a band map of decoded callsigns sorted by frequency. Its principal application is EME on the VHF and UHF bands. MAP65-IQ is a single-polarization version designed to work with the SDR-14, SDR-IQ, and Perseus receivers. It has all features of MAP65 except the polarization matching capability. WSPR implements a protocol designed for probing potential propagation paths with low-power transmissions. Each transmission carries a station's callsign, Maidenhead grid locator, and transmitter power in dBm. The program can decode signals with S/N as low as -28 dB in a 2500 Hz bandwidth. Stations with internet access can automatically upload their reception reports to a central database called WSPRnet, which includes a mapping facility. SimJT is a simulation program. It generates audio-frequency JT65 and CW signals in a background of gaussian white noise, with user-specified signal-to-noise ratio. WSJT, MAP65, and WSPR are open-source programs designed for weak-signal digital communication by amateur radio. Normal usage requires a standard SSB transceiver and a personal computer with soundcard. SimJT is a utility that generates simulated signals for testing purposes. Non Amateur Radio Programs that may be useful Adobe Reader X - This indispensable product lets you read and print from any system any document created as an Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) file, with its original appearance preserved. PDF files are compact and can be shared, viewed, navigated, and printed exactly as the author intended by anyone with Adobe Reader. This release adds the ability to play back embedded multimedia files in MP3, QuickTime, Macromedia Flash, Real, and Windows Media formats, as well as to submit Adobe PDF forms. PDF-XChange Viewer - An alternative to Adobe's Acrobat Reader (above) and much more. Viewing PDFs is incredibly simple and should not be a problem for users. The documents look good through the reader and are easily navigated. While the program is good for simply looking at PDFs, it excels with its added features. The control panel along the top displays a long list of options for editing your PDFs. The most useful we found was the option for making bright red shapes and lines, which can be utilized to mark errors and make comments (an element that has always been one of Acrobat's best tools). This free program imitates its competition in all the right places and gives users some extra features where it counts.
