Hi Folks
I'm pleased to announce that UKW Tools 0.3.2 has been released. This is
an amateur radio GIS program type thingy, that allows for radio
coverage, path plots and other good things to be done. In coverage mode
it can be used for tracing the coverage of FM repeaters for example, the
path plot mode is more useful for microwave types who want to get the
path loss over a given path. There are lots of other bits and pieces
that it does. The propagation model that it uses is the same as that
used by John KD2BD in Splat!
By using the wxWidgets (nee wxWindows) library, I have been able to
make it portable to Windows also, and a Windows installer based version
is also available on my web site.
The source code for UKW Tools is GPL as is my source for the Windows
installer.
As released UKW Tools requires terrain data which is freely available on
the Internet but requires access to broadband due to the amount
required. The basic data I use is named SRTM and covers most of the
earth at 90m-ish intervals but is sometimes inaccurate. I use either
GTOPO30 or Globe data that covers the earth at 900m-ish intervals to
remove any faults it finds.
UKW Tools can be downloaded from http://www.qsl.net/g4klx under
Software.
My previous bits of software such as LinWSJT, MTrack and Baken are still
available from the same place.
Share and Enjoy

PS does anyone know where I can get the source code for a soft decision
Reed Solomon decoder ?
