I own a Drake R8B receiver and am looking for a reasonably price control
software package. I'm using the Smart 32 R8 from Fineware but it
expires soon.

I don't use any computer control here, but I'm curious as to why the Smart
R8 software
would expire.

I do have the program on discs here.

Yea it won't stop working but Mark has stoped suporting his software. Maybe
thats what he means?

That could very well be. I looked at the discs that I have here and it's the
version for Windows95.

I had popped it on the other puter I had that had Win95 on it and looked at it,
but I've never really been interested in computer control of the radio.

You should try it Steve. I'm like you . I like using the tunning knob but I
also like the software for easier direct entry of freqs and it remembers all
the differant entries you make so if I'm listening to say the BBC and also
listening for pirates. I can just toggle quickly through em all and not miss
much of a program I'm listening to on another station. It just makes the
radio a little more versatile. RLDB is still being written by Mark and its a
good resorce too.

My favorite feature of Smart R8 Control 32 is the fact it remembers
your entries so you can go back.
