HamScope is a multi-mode communications package
for amateur radio that supports:
HamScope adds powerful forward error
correction (FEC) methods to BPSK, RTTY, ASCII, and HFSK16:
- an interleaved, 3-way (3, 1) redundant protocol
- interleaved (24, 12) Golay encoding
- interleaved (216, 64) Turbo encoding
- interleaved Reed-Solomon encoding
These encoding
methods provide more robust communications under weak-signal
conditions, but reduce the data transfer rate somewhat when
compared with the base modes. Modifications to the base modes
to support FEC and references that describe the algorithms are
in the HamScope
Technical Specifications
Hamscope also offers an advanced user interface with a
multitude of features to provide optimal control and
convenience during operation:
- a wide, multifunction panoramic display
- a radio control interface for ICOM IC-746 and compatible
transceivers
- a dynamic link to the YPLOG
logging software
- 33 user programmable macro buttons
- user definable function key mappings
HamScope is
designed to run under Windows 95, 98, and NT, and requires a
133 MHz Pentium-class or better machine.
