PSK Express, my replacement for YGPSK is now
available for download and testing. This is still beta type software and will
require a lot of testing.
You can download the setup file at ftp://64.119.46.186/pub/pskexpress_setup.exe There is also a link to this file from my Web site at www.n7yg.comThis file is about 3 MB and includes everything including all the hamlib
support files. In the future I will release updates that include only those
files changes and not the initial support files.
To
run this software you will need to make sure you have the .NET support libraries
installed on your machine. You can check that by looking at the Add/Remove
programs in the control panel. If you need the files you can get the
installation package from:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=333325FD-AE52-4E35-B531-508D977D32A6&displaylang=enOnce you have installed this, run your updater to make sure you get the
latest security updates. Once you are done, you should be updated to version 3.5
SP1. The minimum requirement to run this software is version 3.0. It WILL NOT
run correctly on Version 2.0
This
software, unlike YGPSK is multi-mode and will allow you to use PSK, RTTY or MFSK
at various speeds. The basic look and feel is similar to YGPSK so if you are
experienced with YGPSK, this should be a snap. The README file is a PDF file and
can be accessed from the Help menu at any time.
The
logging function is also different from YGPSK. I am using a free version of SQL
Lite, a really neat and powerfully database that does not require you to install
a database server such as MySQl or SQL Server. I’ve also included the SQLite
administrator software in case you want to tinker with the databases that are
created.
Give
it a try and tell me what you think. This will be an ongoing development project
in parallel with the development of the updated PropNET software. So things may
be a little slow from time to time.
The current version is 1.1.9.9
