HAM-LCT
Freeware logging software with CAT control for Yaesu, Icom, and Kenwood transceivers
Description
Facilitates efficient logging of amateur radio contacts, offering a robust solution for hams managing their station activities. The software integrates CAT control capabilities, allowing direct interfacing with popular transceivers from manufacturers like Yaesu, Icom, and Kenwood. This feature streamlines the logging process by automatically capturing frequency, mode, and other QSO details directly from the radio, reducing manual entry errors and improving operational efficiency during contests or DXing.
HAM-LCT includes a comprehensive database, enabling users to store and retrieve contact information, QSL data, and other relevant details for each QSO. The program supports various operating modes and provides tools for searching and filtering log entries, which is beneficial for award tracking and station analysis. Its design focuses on providing a user-friendly interface for everyday logging tasks.
While the original author, HB9CQV, has discontinued development of HAM-LCT in favor of a newer logging application, this version remains available as a functional freeware option for Windows users seeking a dedicated logbook with integrated rig control.
