NDB 1.0 Software  *** NEW *** NEW **** NEW *** NEW **** NEW *** 
================
 
NDB is THE World-wide Non-Directional Beacons Database programme for DX-ing 
NDB's.  With the programme you can list the Name (name of the NDB), ID 
(Identification), QRG (Frequency in kHz), Latitude & Longitude of NDB's used 
World-wide in any sort order you want. Currently the main database contains 
4353 records. A comprehensive search option is available to search for a 
particular Name, QRG or ID. Also included is a table with Morse Codes for 
easy identification of the NDB. Just by clicking on the code it is possible 
to search the database. If there is only one record found in the database, 
then the morse code will be displayed as large dots and dashes, and it will 
be audible (if you want) through the speaker of your computer.
