Data~Master for Windows

IBM-PC control of the AOR AR7030 & Ar3030 short wave receivers

DATA MASTER is a Windows based PC package which provides RS-232 control applications for each receiver, an AOR badged version of the MUFsight propagation prediction utility and the AOR Data Base Toolkit. A manual with over 100 pages accompanies the set of distribution disks and you get nearly 10M bytes of programs and data installed onto your system! The Tuner applications use the multiple document interface for displaying and editing radio memory data. This also includes a status display on the toolbar and simple frequency and mode tuning. The AR3030 Tuner program has an AR3030 front panel window for a virtual receiver on your computer desktop.

The AR7030 Tuner boasts three front panel personalities which provide a flexible and enjoyable way to tune your radio. Each radio personality has hot-spots which you simply click on with your mouse to operate the radio. What could be simpler! Controls are animated where appropriate (eg rotary controls, tuning, etc...). Moving needle S-meter displays are active at all times (except when transferring memory data). The data base tool kit is a sophisticated radio data management system that is fully integrated with the control software. It is enhanced with the merging of geographical data with transmitter details so that it is possible to plot extracts of data on maps for point-and-click tuning. The picture above illustrates how transmitter data can be plotted on a spherical projection world map. AOR Data Base Toolkit is a suite of compiled Visual dBase applications that interact intimately with the control software for the maximum in performance. The data base has the following exciting features:

SWL Logbook: picks up frequency and mode from control software; records include: start/end time, date, frequency, ID, mode, report, comment and (optional) audio entered by drag and drop (OLE)

HF Broadcast Stations: includes full frequency, time and geographical data for export in text format.
"What's On...?" query for extracting station details for transmitters on the air within user specified times.
Over 1700 entries are included in the data base gathered from sources on the Internet.
HF Utilities: HF FAX and beacons; Over 400 entries covering stations from all over the globe
VHF/UHF: Beacons on VHF/UHF (over 390 entries); UK version includes medium wave and Band II VHF broadcasters too (over 1800 entries).
Comprehensive lists of over 3700 British Isles and 6200 World Place names for fusing transmitter details
with geographical data - achieved using the latest sophisticated relational data base techniques
Full search facilities including dBase expression builder (extract precisely the data you want eg only those stations which are HF FAX using LSB; or extract all transmitters from Quito, Ecuador)
