EURO-TX 3.0 SOFTWARE
====================
- EURO-TX is THE ShortWave Broadcast Transmissions to EUROPE database for
Radio Listening Amateurs. The EURO-TX programme contains information on
shortwave broadcasts to EUROPE in various languages (Danish, Dutch, English,
Esperanto, Finnish, French, German, Greek,Icelandic, Italian, Norwegian,
Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish). With the programme you can make
complete sorted listings in country, language, station and/or
transmission-time order; just choose the appropriate settings and the
programme will display the list in any way you want. An 'On The Air' button
will display all stations which are on the air at the moment you press the
button.
A comprehensive search option is available to search for whatever you like; a
station, country, frequency or transmission time. Furthermore it is also
possible to display an ITU country list (237 records), a stations address
list, a stations Internet address list, HF-bands list, UTC time table (237
records) and a DX-programme list. At the moment the database contains
transmission details of 126 stations in 74 countries. The address lists
contain 101 Internet addresses and 217 'normal' addresses. Finally,
transmission times/days of 33 different DX-programmes are available. The
Main Database Table has almost 1100 records (variable, due to daily updates)
in which Country, Station,Transmission Time, Language, Frequencies and
Remarks are listed. All data can be displayed on screen as well as on a
printer. It is NOT possible to change any of the data in the database but
you will receive the LATEST available database-file (updated on a DAILY bases
with information from many well-known sources, of which much info comes
directly from the stations themselfes), with the registered version of the
software. The programme and the latest database are put on floppy when you
order the programme, so you will always receive the latest data available.
