Demonstrates RadioComm, a freeware Icom transceiver/receiver controller program for Windows, which facilitates memory programming, spectrum analysis, and interfacing with extensive frequency databases. The software allows users to program their Icom radio's memory, generate radio-frequency spectra, and connect the radio to a computer-based frequency database. It supports various Icom models, offering bidirectional control where virtual controls mirror the transceiver's physical controls and vice versa. The program's spectrum analysis feature, exemplified by tuning the WWV time standard at 15 MHz, provides insights into the AM passband, a capability often found in high-end Icom transceivers. While RadioComm offers these functionalities, the author, Paul Lutus, notes that it has been superseded by JRX (a virtual radio) and IcomProgrammer II (a memory programming utility), which are described as superior and compatible with more platforms. RadioComm is available as a 516 KB self-extracting executable, requiring an Icom CT-17 RS-232 interface box for radios that need it. Users can also customize the plain-text database to include unsupported Icom models. However, the author explicitly states that no user support is provided for this free program.

The MCP-F6/F7 software facilitates memory channel and menu data creation for the Kenwood TH-F6A, TH-F7A, and TH-F7E transceivers. It operates on _Windows_ XP (SP3+), Vista (SP2+), Windows 7 (RTM+), Windows 8 (RTM+), Windows 8.1 (RTM+), Windows 10, and Windows 11. System requirements include a CPU faster than the OS recommendation, RAM exceeding the OS recommendation, and **2 MB** of free hard drive space. Display resolution must be XGA (1024 x 768) or higher. Connectivity to the transceiver requires an optional PG-4Y (RS-232) or KPG-22U (USB 2.0) programming cable. The KPG-22U cable necessitates a virtual COM port driver installation. The software supports COM1 through COM20 for RS-232 communication. Installation requires administrator privileges and involves executing "setup.exe" from the extracted MFX101.zip archive. Uninstallation is performed via the Control Panel's "Uninstall a program" function or by re-executing "setup.exe." Created data files are not removed during uninstallation and require manual deletion. The software version is **1.01**. DXZone Focus: Kenwood TH-F6 F7 | Memory Management | Windows | RS-232

The Kenwood TH-F6A handheld transceiver can achieve an extended transmit frequency range of 137-174 MHz, 216-235 MHz, and 410-470 MHz by removing a specific diode and chip resistor from the main PCB. This modification also expands the receive range on the A-band to 142-152 MHz, 216-235 MHz, and 420-450 MHz. For the TH-F7E, the transmit range extends to 137-174 MHz and 410-470 MHz, with a corresponding receive range on the A-band. Performing these hardware changes will reset and initialize the radio's memory contents, necessitating prior backup of important channel frequencies. Instructions are provided for constructing a homemade PC programming cable compatible with the Kenwood TH-G71A, TH-F6A, and TH-F7E. The interface utilizes an RS-232-to-logic (0-3.3V) level-shifter and a full-duplex serial connection, adapting the Kenwood PG-4S cable schematic for the TH-G71's 2.5mm and 3.5mm phono plugs. Specific schematic tweaks include changing R1 from 150 ohms to 1K ohm to optimize power from the serial port and adding a 150K ohm resistor between the Radio TXD and ground to manage the 3.3V I/O pin. Detailed plug pinouts for the 2.5mm and 3.5mm connectors are presented, with the interface's TXD connecting to the ring of the 2.5mm plug and RxD to the shield of the 3.5mm plug. Ground connects to the shield of the 2.5mm plug, while the tips of both plugs are no-connects. Debugging procedures cover verifying positive and negative power rails from the serial port, checking component polarities, and testing level-shifting and inversion functions of the interface. Software setup involves enabling "TC ON" (Menu 15 for TH-G71, Menu 9 for TH-F6) and using Kenwood's MCP programming software.

The FTBVR5K software facilitates comprehensive memory management for the Yaesu VR-5000 scanning receiver, supporting operations such as modifying, moving, adding, deleting, masking, and unmasking individual memories. It allows for importing and exporting memory definitions via CSV files, sorting memories by frequency or name, and identifying duplicate frequencies within the receiver's configuration. The program also supports the creation and modification of bank definitions, management of PMS (Programmable Memory Scan) definitions, and adjustment of PMS scanning ranges. Additionally, users can print detailed reports of memories, banks, PMS definitions, rig settings, and S.CALL details, with visual cues like red highlighting for masked memories and yellow for the priority channel. FTBVR5K provides functionality to alter values within the VR-5000's Set and Config menus, and to change S.CALL station names and frequencies. The application operates on standard Windows PCs, including Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10, requiring an available COM port for transceiver connection, which can be a conventional serial port or a USB adapter. A minimum screen resolution of 800 x 600 is supported, with 1024 x 768 recommended for optimal usability.

Uniden BC250D / BC785D / BC296D / BC796D programming software

This resource details the construction of a versatile CW/QRSS beacon, designed around a Microchip _PIC16F84_ microcontroller. The project provides a flexible platform for transmitting either standard CW or very slow QRSS signals, making it suitable for LF, VHF, UHF, and SHF applications. It supports two distinct messages, each configurable for speed (from 0 to **127** WPM for CW, or up to **127** seconds per dot for QRSS) and repetition within a six-phase sequence. The core functionality relies on the PIC's EEPROM, which stores all operational parameters, including message content, transmission speeds, phase configurations, and relay control settings. This design allows for parameter modification directly via programming software like _ICProg_ without altering the main program code. The project includes a detailed schematic, a component list, and an explanation of the EEPROM memory mapping for messages, speeds, phase settings, and inter-phase delays. General-purpose outputs (OUT1, OUT2, OUT3) provide dry relay contacts for external control, enabling functions such as power switching, antenna selection, or frequency changes. A 'TRIGGER' input facilitates controlled starts or continuous free-run operation. Sample EEPROM configurations illustrate how to program specific beacon sequences, including message content and relay states.

Manually programming D-Star handheld transceivers like the _Icom ID-51A_ and _ID-31A_ can be a straightforward process, enabling operators to configure repeaters, simplex frequencies, and D-Star specific settings without relying on computer software. This method is particularly useful for field operations or when quick adjustments are needed, allowing hams to set up callsign routing, DR mode, and reflector links directly from the radio's interface. Understanding the menu structure and key sequences is crucial for efficient on-the-fly programming. Operators often find manual programming invaluable for activating new D-Star repeaters encountered during travel or for participating in local nets where specific G2 or G3 gateway configurations are required. While software like _CS-51_ offers convenience for bulk programming, the ability to manually input frequencies and D-Star parameters ensures operational flexibility. This approach also helps hams troubleshoot connectivity issues by verifying individual settings directly on the transceiver, ensuring proper D-Star registration and gateway access.
