11.  psksetup.exe   Since the PA QSO Party now includes PSK31 as a digital mode, I have developed a new PSK31 program.  It is basic and straightforward, and is based upon the digital MMVARI "engine" developed by Makoto Mori(JE3HHT), who is also the author of author of the well known MMTTY and SSTTY digital Amateur Radio programs.

It supports all modes from that MMVARI "engine" including:

 

bpsk (like PSK31 and PSK63) --  BPSK (HF)  --  rtty-L (LSB) -- rtty-U (USB) -- mfsk-L (LSB)  --  mfsk-U (USB) -- FSK (V/UHF)

 and FSK-W (V/UHF, satellite), .

 

   

ARlogbook -- General Purpose Logging Program

 
       
12. wb3warlog.exe    VERSION 7.4.29 (April 28,2007)..This is a new program designed for everyday logging, and is not oriented to a specific contest.  It tracks, states, countries, counties, has call sign lookup, and a flexible report generator.

 

You will need the EN.data file from number 7 above for the call lookup feature, or you can download yourself direct from the FCC site.

 

PLEASE NOTE:  This is the initial "Beta" program that is still undergoing testing.  If you download it and find any problems, please send me an email...

13. arlogbook.exe  VERSION 7.4.29 UPDATE ONLY.   If you have previously downloaded the Beta Version of the new ARlogbook prior to April 29, 2007 this will update your program with scrolling capabilities in the Detail Contact Screen, and correct a problem in filling in the Country Field based upon call sign prefix.  It will not change any data you may have entered into your logs already.  Make sure your current ARlogbook program is not running and download this into the current folder that you installed the original program.
   

DTaccess -- A Dstar Terminal Chat Program

 
14. wb3dtacl.exe   VERSION 1.1.7 (February 9, 2009)..A new program that allows you to send and receive text using the DV slow speed data mode over your VHF or UHF Dstar Radio simultaneously with your voice transmissions.
 

15.

 

dtaccess.exe

 

VERSION 1.1.7 UPDATE ONLY..If you have previously installed an earlier version of DTaccess you should only need this main program file. Before installing rename the current DTaccess.exe to some other name, and then download this file to the DTaccess folder on your computer.

 

 

 

 

 

If you download these programs please send me an email so I can keep you up to date on any changes.   Send to wb3w at wb3w.net    Thanks

 

Beginning in September 2006 the version number scheme is changing to be more reflective off the actual date of the version.

It consists of the Year, Month, and day.  Therefore, a number of 6.9.7 would be 2006, September, Day 7.

 

WINDOWS 95 and 98 USERS -- PLEASE READ...

 

The DCOM98 Utility MUST be installed prior to running the setup program to avoid a run time error.

 

 

  A basic Serial Port CW keying interface cable:  
 

  

 
  If you use a DB-25 Serial connector instead, then RTS will be on pin 4, DTR on pin 20 and Ground on pin 7.  
     
  A Parallel Port cable interface:  
 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

 

 

 

  Installing the files

 

The files are in a standard Windows Setup program format.

 

Save  to any temporary folder or Desktop on your computer., and  when the download completes either click on the "Run" or "Open" button.

 All necessary programs and database components will be installed, and a new menu option created on your "Start/Programs" menu. 

 

  Installing an Upgrade

 

If you are only updating your current program and downloading an update, then download to your Desktop or any convenient Folder on your PC.

 

Then, double click this file name, and it will run a setup update into the original Logging Folder where you did the initial install. 

 

 

 

 Microsoft Utilities

 

You will more than likely not need the dcom98 utility for Windows 98, but it is here 'just in case'.  Some of the earlier releases of W98 did not include this utility.

 

This DCOM utility MUST be run PRIOR to running the Logging Program Setup.

 

If you install the Logging Program first and you get a run time error when it first starts up, use the control panel "Add/Remove Programs" to remove the Logging program.  Then run dcom98 and reinstall the logging program.
