RTTY and PSK31 for Radio Amateurs

More info on Hamscope

HamScope is a multi-mode communications interface for amateur radio that supports:

  • PSK31 (BPSK and QPSK, see  PSK31 Home Page )

  • RTTY (HamScope uses Makoto Mori's MMTTY Engine)

  • ASCII (both 7 bit and 8 bit protocols using MMTTY)

  • MFSK16 (see  MFSK16 Home Page )

  • PACKET (HamScope uses George Rossopoulos' AGWPE Engine)

  • CW

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 several ICOM, TenTec, Kenwood, and Yaesu transceivers

  • 42 user-programmable macro buttons

  • user definable function key mappings

HamScope has added data links to several logging and/or radio control programs:

  • DXbase

  • LOGic 7/8

  • RYLogit

  • TRX-Manager

  • YPLOG

  • HamScope also supplies a DDE server for users who wish to connect to the program

HamScope is designed to run under Windows 98 and NT, and requires a 133 MHz Pentium-class or better machine. 16 bit SVGA color (or greater) is necessary for the panoramic waterfall display to function correctly. Users have reported that HamScope generally works fine on Windows 95, ME, XP, 2000, and perhaps others. I will not promise this, as I cannot test it across all systems of interest. If you run Win 95, you will likely have to install Microsoft patches (Year 2000 fix and the OLE patch, as a minimum), to get it to work. Please visit the AXCEL216 web page for more info on Win 95 and OLE patches.Windows XP and Newer:
HamScope seems to work on Windows XP at some reasonable level, although it is not tested or supported on XP. There may be remaining issues with saving window size settings and some users report occasional problems with communications with the MMTTY RTTY engine. Support for Windows Vista and newer variants is not planned at this time.
