: Actually, it's rather useful. Maybe not in terms of glamorous programs with all the bells and whistles, but the program features a PAN function. You set (on the radio itself) the squelch to max, assign a frequency to VFO A and another to VFO B, and set the radio to search between these values. (such as 7.00 and 10.00 Mhz). Even though you initially won't be able to hear anything due to the MAXed squelch, the PAN function builds a graph representing the areas of greater and lesser signal strength. When the scan is complete, turn the squelch down, and using the left mouse button, click on any peak that seems likely to represent a signal. Viola, the radio tunes to that frequency. It might not be real time, since the scan takes a while, but a little experimenting even now shows that the scan continues even when the squelch is turned down all the way. (I do believe that the programmer recommends a higher squelch setting). I don't know how old this program is, but it is listed as a "Legacy" program on this page: http://tinyurl.com/4nlrq and no price is listed. Exactly what is Legacy software? Anyway, the program also has a data base of established broadcasters, Listed as Utility, Shortwave, and AM Broadcast. Click on the Broadcaster, various frequencies are show that would be in use by that broadcaster, click on the desired frequency, and you are tuned to that frequency. I don't know how valid the data base is, but when you tune to a frequency that is represented in the data base, the program lists details of the broadcaster/s. More than I expected, and I am still learning. Thanks. http://www.qrz.com/download/controls/siw32_32.zip |
