Program Description

Procat for Windows is a computer program that allows many different transceiver
types to be controlled under Microsoft Windows.  This program was designed to
provide useful help by the computer in the operation of complex modern day
Amateur Radio transceivers. This program  was not created to show off  the
authors particular transceiver choice - it was designed to provide CAT
assistance in the smallest possible area of the computer screen. This allows
for other programs of the users choice for QSO logging, QSLs,  contests,
awards, etc. Support your local Ham programmers, even modest projects may take
several hundred hours to complete and test!

The program and associated files take up alot of space, altogether they are the
size of a 3.5" HD disk, compressed! The program allows recording and playback
through your WAV capable sound card. The program is unique in that it allows
you to visually manage and activate 160 "memorys" with the click of the mouse.
It has been called "FUN" by many of it's users and enjoyment is the reason it
was created. 

Try ProCat for Windows out on your transceiver and have some fun!

NOTE: ProCat for Windows does NOT require a sound device attached to
      Windows. It does require a CAT capable transceiver and a separate
      hardware device called a "level" converter specific to your brand
      of radio. These devices can be easily built, or purchased from your
      favorite Amateur radio distributer for about $75.
