BACKGROUND:
Frequency Valet was designed with PowerBook users in mind in order to
provide a program suitable for use both at home and on the road. The
entire program size is intentionally small. Your memory usage will depend
on the datafiles you include with the program. When used at home, it can
provide
computer control of the Drake R8, the Kenwood R-5000, and the JRC NRD-525
and NRD-535 receivers. With or without computer control the program can be
extremely useful to shortwave listeners by providing a continuous,
automatic update of broadcasts on-the-air at 15, 30, or 60 minute
intervals.
PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS:
HyperCard version 2.1 is required for the operation of Frequency Valet.
GETTING HELP:
If you are a registered user of Shortwave Navigator, your copy of Frequency
Valet will also be registered to you. No broadcast datafiles will be
included in the StuffIt file. You will have to first create your own
databases. See the file "For SWNav Users" for help.
FOR DRAKE USERS:
Once control has been established, a new menu is created in the menubar
called "Functions." The last item of this menu, "Set Speed," will bring up
a dialog box which asks you to insert a digit from 0 to about 4, depending
on the speed of your computer. This function establishes a small delay
between the transmission of characters to the receiver. Suggest you
increase the speed one digit at a time until the receiver responds
correctly. A 2 or 3 should be about right for most users.
THE DATA FINDER:
The "Choices" menu opens a stack in a new window which contains a search
button. The search button offers three options, "BC Logbook," "Ute
Logbook," and "Other." Each of the log options will permit you to search
for text strings in the log selected. Found entries will appear in the
scrolling
field. Selecting the "Other" option will allow you to search in any
standard text file.
GETTING HELP:
On-screen help is available in two forms by selecting the Help (?) button.
Select "Info" to open a scrolling field containing detailed help about the
program. Select "Help" to get on-screen help by moving the cursor over the
buttons and fields of the program. Information about each object
will appear in the message box.
SHAREWARE INFORMATION:
The "Info" field contains information about registering this shareware
program.
