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. The ERGO software looks good but after downloading the DEMO from the WWW it wont work ,sayimng the demo is expired.I'd purchase it but probably would have a problem if it didnt work. Does anyone know of a windows based package that is avaiulble. Regards Chaz There's a freeware program called SWLOG that has radio control for R8A & R8B. I've tested it on R8A and it works fine using XP. You will probably have to update some Windows system files. http://www.shortwavelog.com/. Ergos and SWLOG both haveYahooGroups. SWLOG's pretty nice. It's the log-prog I've settled on. But you have to install the .Net framework and some folks are antsy about things they don't know about. I have had *zero* problems with it on my XP box and overall I'm very pleased. It does have many features, control of various radios being one sub-set. For all it does and how it does it, I'd recommend it for consideration by anyone who's looking around for such stuff. -=jd=- -- My Current Disposable Email: (Remove YOUR HAT to reply directly) You guys are AWESOME! I'm having the same problem since upgrading my PC and software to Windows XP. Smart R8 was fine on Windows 2000, but it's sluggish on XP. It was great while Mr. Fine supported it with program updates and all the neat stuff. I'll try SWLOG. Extra points if it generates reception reports. I'm also looking for something to replace ScanCat 7.5. The current version is supposed to support XP, but not in my shack. BTW, doesn't it bother Drake users that Drake doesn't have software to support it's R8's in the 21st Century? The original version I used on DOS and Windows 3.1 is worthless. I'm surprised they haven't kept up with the times. My guess is that they are not in the software business, preferring instead to leave that up to other vendors.
