Saga: ...Software In A Control Console Panel Idea I really got heavy into that radio software stuff here for a long time. I first read of it back in the mid 80's when everything was in C Basic and MS Dos. There was then CW and RTTY as well as PACKET. I had a little color lap top from Radio Shack that had a 3 KB plug in Ram card on the back and it used a TV for a monitor. You had to write the programs and store them on a cassette. You could solder in another Ram chip on top of the other one but had to run its address pin seperately to add extra mememory. They called that piggy back memory.
I got tired of that and never touch another computer until recently and I was shocked at Windows 98. The only thing I have learned so far was to work with aiml brain programs for AI Bots because that was interesting and I have a few AI robots here now. I don't think those things have much of a future however, they are limited until someone decides to put them all on a chip rather than a hard drive. Now I can understand digital radio, I built the HW 5400 by Heathkit in the mid 80's that used the Intel 8080 micro processor. It had three vco's. When I found out what was going on in SDR Radio and I always want to improve my radio; I surfed the web for everything I could download and began to learn how to connect my radios to the PC. I got stuff from Russia and Germany, all over the world. DRM seems fairly heavy in the EU. Then I learned to make "control panel consoles" with graphics and started to compile all of the softwares into one folder on (C:) and integrated them with the console to access them all. And they all work well out of that one console which I design with web design ware and a Microsoft SDK Platform software. Some of the software requires I install it in the Program Files since it is self installed and has dll files that are installed in the Systems folder by the author's design. Anyways the control console has many control panels for the types of software. Everything is organized and just a click of a button on the panel away. I even have some analog meter softwares where some meters serve as vue meters and system meters. And there are accessory sound card mixers I added as well as UTC clocks and propogation software. I added a test bench software panel and put my oscillosopes and analysis softwares in that panel as well as manuals and text and folders to store data in. Lastly I thought of the radio stations and micro broadcasters and thought of adding in a recording and broadcasting studio. The DRM software I have also can be used to broadcast with and I have the Ham DReaM version also. I can not store it on a regular CD now, it has to go on a DVD CD because the main folder is around 900 MB and installs nearly 2 giga bytes when done. I am still expanding it and adding things all of the time but I feel that I need not to add too much more. I even have the 2005 ARRL Handbook pluged into it as well as another handbook. It would take a year to learn to use it all. The consoles can work out of browsers but they have their own browser like application for that so that there will be no conflicts. I have actually made my own browsers with that software. They are limited but they have no spy bots that can attach to them and they can't be taken over when on the web. The worst that seems to happen is that the spy bots bog down the PC trying to read the thing. So I make custom browsers or mini browsers for groups at yahoo and other groups. I might make one here in a few days for this group. The panels are merely html type documents with buttons to urls and folders for storage of text and emails, etc. I try to use some decent graphics and lately I have been using a Tesla coil theme on them. I made a Military version for use with those folk who like Military Radio Surplus. Anyways the mini browsers are a homepage like document that can click on a web site or a folder in Windows. The user can snap in a search engine page or what ever page they want. _____________________________________________________________________ Call Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere in the World - FREE!
