WTB Software for Drake R8
I have in the past used FineWare Smart R8 Control for my R8. Mark Fine does
not sell this software anymore and I am looking to purchase a newer version of the same software, or even something else that works well with the R8. My version does not work with XP or even ME. My Smart R8 control software was purchased and registered with Fineware. I am not looking to "steal" or copy anyone's registered software, I just want to purchase it. All you bedwetting flamers, keep it to yourself. |

will this software function with Windows XP? Thanks

I did a survey a couple of years ago to find what software was available for a variety of receivers. There was not a whole lot for the Drake other than Mark Fine's RLDB and Smart R8. Since then, Mark has developed the R8 interface for the HamLib library (http://hamlib.sourceforge.net/) and an alpha level application, Smart Gnome Control, using the HamLib libraries. Any application using HamLib should work with the R8 but they seem to be mostly designed for Linux and have to be compiled from the open source code. I have compiled Dream for Windows; it has limited control of the R8 (frequency and S-meter) but it's primarily a DRM decoder and AM/SSB/CW/FM sound card IF DSP demodulator. Here's the old table, fwiw - needs updating - and has to be viewed in html.

There is a new program called RxPlus: http://www.cam.org/~noelbou/RxPlus/ that will control the R8A, R8B and many other receivers. This software not only controls your receiver but also provides audio DSP tools including demodulation of RTTY, PSK, FAX. This control program is definitely worth a look. -- Brian Denley http://home.comcast.net/~b.denley/index.html |
Somebody ought to invent some sort of a copy paper that can be held
directly agains't computer monitor screens (webtv screens too) (sort of kind of like the old fashion blueprint papers,if y'all get me driff) for a minute or so and make copies like that.It would cut out all of the fuss and mess of screwing around with those stupid ass printers that sometimes don't work right and that we are always having to buy ink for.It seems to me like a damn good idea.Put y'alls thinking caps on boys and girls and invent something like that and y'all can get filthy rich. cuhulin |

LOL!!!!!!!!!! B.H. |
No ****,Sherlock.But I do think it is a good idea about my idea.Oh
well,it was only a thought. cuhulin |
Many years ago my dad was a construction supervisor for Michael Baker
Engineering Company.(www.dogpile.com Michael Baker Engineering Company Flowood Mississippi if y'all want to look it up) The company used to be home based here in Jackson but years ago they moved across the Pearl River east of Jackson in the little city of Flowood.I am familiar with blueprint paper although I have never used it before.A lot of people travel with their laptop computers and if there was some sort of copy papers available they could use to hold against't the screens of their laptop computers if they want to copy something on the go,that would save them a lot of time.Some people still use blueprint because it is inexpensive,according to a search I did at www.howstuffworks.com Blueprint Paper I still think my idea is a good idea. cuhulin |
I don't think ERGO 4 does R8B memory management. I bought the program
from Universal about a month ago when I bought my R8B new from R.L. Drake. I've only spent a little time with it, but I got it mainly for memory management and was disappointed. I played a bit with RXPLUS and I'd recommend it over ERGO 4 until ERGO 4 gets the R8B memory management programmed. |

Here's the old table, fwiw - needs updating - and has to be viewed in html. Regards, Tom That's one nasty looking table, Tom. You need to at least click in unused boxes and press the space bare so the grid shows up around unused cells. If you're familiar with editing raw HTML with a word processor its simple to use "Find and replace" to do it all in one pass. Search for: td/td and replace with td /td It makes tables a lot easier on the eyes if you have vision problems. -- Former professional electron wrangler. Michael A. Terrell Central Florida |

It's not required to put   into empty cells in a table - unless you want a border around each cell. The source file displays fine in IE, Netscape and Firefox browsers and in Outlook Express into which it was pasted and sent. Oddly enough, my news server did not even return my posting so I have no idea what it might have done to the html. Google stripped all the html and made it totally scrambled. Does rec.radio.shortwave even allow html? 73, Tom |

Does rec.radio.shortwave even allow html? 73, Tom It depends on the news server and Earthlink let it through. The message was 1152 lines and the missing cell borders are what make the table look bad. Whenever something pops up in that format its like someone has slugged me because my poor vision can't line everything up quickly. There are web sites I can't go to because they are full of tables built like this. If you aren't going to display all the borders you should turn them off and just have the columns aligned without any thing in the way. I create the tables on my web page in Wordpad and always include the non breaking space in blank cells when a table has visable borders. http://home.earthlink.net/~mike.terrell/ and a couple other sites I maintain were built by hand to keep them compatable with as many browsers as possible. The pages are small and fast loading because there are a minimum of tags and i use a CSS to maintain the look and colors of the site. -- Former professional electron wrangler. Michael A.

Some are permanent and are added to the drop down menus, but I just post a link directly to a temporary file and levee it till its not needed or is replaced. -- Former professional electron wrangler.
