- TelescopeMan gives his top 5 list of the essential ham radio software. He uses these several times each week when operating his radios.
They are very useful to have available on your ham shack computer. - Наука та технологія
Thanks - Very helpful to a ham who just recently returned to amateur radio after 20 years! Thanks, Jack KB4CG
RIP Joe. Your videos were very helpful.
he died oh my god he dident puted viedio from last 1 years i doubted
Thanks so much for these excellent tips! Great to see another ham who's interested in astronomy as well. :-)
Thanks Telescopeman. Used have a Grundig worldreceiver in the seventies, gave it away, but with your first package I can pick up shortwave-listening again, plus I'm gonna download WSJTX and figure out that works. Good work, this video.
Hi there! I'm looking at getting my amateur radio license, and for being on my computer all the time this really helps! I appreciate the videos you post!
I have been wanting a clock that had both times, but thanks to you, I don't have to go buy one.
Thanks for making this, Joe. Really interesting video with good information for new operators and even old hands. 73, GM4JPZ
You are most welcome. 73
Great job! I enjoy watching your progress ..... Thanks 😂😂
Great job! I saw some cool apps that I’ve never seen before. Thank you.
Dave Ramirez you are welcome.
Thank you for the informative video. I'm not licensed yet, but I'm reading the ARRL study guide when time allows. I picked up Baofeng 5rv5 and an Icom ID 5100-A to start with. I'm thinking that I'll probably add an Icom IC-7100 to round out my mobile with HF capability as well. I grew up with a base station CB with an Antron 99 on a Rohn tower running very illegally talking to my dad who was a trucker back in the 80s and 90s. It worked for our purposes well but I didn't realize as a kid that what we were doing was illegal. I've always enjoyed the radio and now at 40 years old my interest has sparked back into it once again. Living in Southeast GA I think this will be a smart move with our frequent hurricane evacuations. My wife and I each run a Ranger RCI-2950 to keep comms between vehicles in evacuation situations. (That's what we ran on the base station too but with a lot of juice behind it.) I'm looking forward to taking my test and getting on the air. Take care.
Christopher Sanders thanks for the nice comment.
Just starting...very helpful!!
Great stuff Joe. Also recommend "YAAC", Yet Another APRS Client. Free, currently in Beta release. Good way to learn about APRS. Lots of features for the APRS community. I use it a lot.
Thanks a lot Sir for sharing 👌 and you have a good one 73s👍
Oladapo King you are welcome.
Just found your site and subscribed. Thanks for the information in this video. Looks like good stuff to have. 73 AC7NK

Good job tanks you yc9job..ocean 150
What contact logger to you use ? Looking for an online site that I can use online or offline from any computer or mobile device...
I have an unopened SDR and went to download a free free software package. I chose one and it consistently refuse to let me download it. It gives me to a 140 item. Can u tell us a good free SDR. Software pack. Any help of suggestion would be appreciated.
de N2JAI Bill, Thank you Joe for you videos.
You are welcome.
Very useful
Solitary As Always thank you.
Thanks for the info K2CSX
All the best. 73
Good job
Thank for the links. Very helpful. 73 - K7GYB
Good video, but it would be helpful if you put the titles up on the screen to help find the page.
if you haven't heard, the "AIM Window" on Netlogger, (and everything else using AIM) goes down in a few months, if it isn't already down. America Online is retiring AIM, and not replacing the servers.
Thanks for the update.
He doesn't list the apps in the description below the video. I see a bunch on your screen @1:59 that I could use for my setup. I was able to find a few on the list by searching and matching the icons, etc. Some are obsolete or not supported and some are upgraded.
Look at the very last comment you will find all the links there.
Do you like PowerSDR best for Flex? I have a 1500 w/a HR 50 I would like to put on the air.
I run KE9NS free software instead of the factory powersdr. Just Google "ke9ns flex software". MANY MORE neat features versus the normal software. 73
I would add CHIRP for programming some of the handitalkies. And its free for both Mac and pc.
Yes that is very handy free software.
Joe, in your video you stated you would post the links, where are they?? 73s...
At the bottom of the comments section.
Hamclock? But Windows can already display multiple times, no extras needed.
Very interesting thanks for sharing 73s de George 9H1AA
very good...(from KB5UUY)
Thank you for sharing these programs.
The first one, Ham clock I dont find usefull at all really. I and most other amatuers I know already have their computer clock set on UTC. If one is commited enough to Ham radio one stops using local time and go UTC fully.
Second program could be very usefull if one is a SWL/DX listener which I am not. However I am going to download it and use it for my sailboat. Nice to hear a human voice on the oceans.
Third one, FL digi I never heard about. There is a huge amount of psk31 softwares, Ill look into this one. Nowadays I prefer FT8. I will download it and give it a go.
Fourth one, this was something new. Not much of a DX net user but I sure can see the benefit of this program if one likes the DX nets.
Fifth one, WSJT-X is awesome. Using it daily. Cant keep wonder what they are going to come up with next.

I search all over cannot find the shortwave listening software can someone type type the name it on here.
This was a decent video, but it was unfortunate that it had no links.
Links are at the bottom of the comments below.
All the links are at the bottom of comments section. 73
That is the worst possible place for them. Just update the video description and post them there... or pin the comment with them in it to the top.
If you are a Windoze user, These look like very good software to have.
I am a Linux guy, Linux offers way more pre installed HAM software, including Chirp.
There is no such thing as the *__bottom__* of the comment section. Each user sees the comments in different order, according to UA-cam's adaptive sorting order. What you see first and/or last is not the same as what other people see.
It was a lot faster and easier for you to edit the description of the video. But, instead, for some mysterious reason you decided instead to post multiples times in the comments "go see at bottom", which is not useful for viewers and took you far much time and effort. Sorry, but that's not smart at all.
links to site would be nice.. can not find elb view 30 it comes up with a paid software at 135 bucks. i think not..
XPFTP the bottom comment has all the links.
Can someone list the top 5 software links
The links are at the bottom of the comments section just scroll to the bottom, Jo hadn’t pinned his comment links to the top of the comments. RIP.
That rig control error message can be frustrating!!!
Is there a linux version of the EibiView 3.0 software?
Not that I know?
@@JoeLalumia is there a list of the data that is on that software, thus the Short wave radio frequencies, that is on a Web Site?
@@JoeLalumia also Do you know of a COVID-19 brodcast that is on shortwave?
@@haqinai No but our local club is hosting a daily radio net at 10 am, and our region ARES is doing a once per week net on 40 meter near 7.277 at 6:50 pm central time.
@@JoeLalumia now another question is: Do we need a licence to use a UHF and VHF for walkie talkie service? If so how do I get it?
Honorable mention to "Airlink Express" --- very nice software for working RTTY.

Ok program but FLDigi much better.
Telescopeman thanks for the video but two comments. #! you are 2min 50 into the video before we know what any one of the software packages is. that is 85% of the video itself.#2 I will google for all of these but why not put links to the software packages in your description so anyone viewing does not have to have the extra step of googling for that software?
All the links are at the bottom of comments section.
Send links please great video thank you

I cannot find ELBview 30
Thomas Carney here is link

Thank you, sir!!! 73 DE WB9RXJ
EibiView 3.0
That link is too general. Here is a direct link.
www.eibispace.de/dx/EIBIview30.zip
I downloaded the ELIBIview30.zip file. After unzipping it, Norton Security immediately removed the ELIBI.exe file as dangerous and a security risk.
Law it is on 3 of my computers wiith no issues. Norton is notorious for giving false positives on unknown software. I have not used Norton for about 10 years now. 73
lol >norton security< OXYMORON
Law mine works fine on 2 different Windows 10 machines? Might just be a false positive from Norton.
Norton is notorious for false positives. Use the links at the bottom of the comments.
Well Done! kt4rc
he was born on 4/04/1974 which year we got freedom and died on 9/9/20 but we are sorry but the mhont and the date mathecs 9/9 and 4/4 coincedence
he was born in 74 ??? are you sure ?
There is no way he was born 1974 lol he’d be 49
Don't just send a thank-you ... send a donation if there isn't a payware version or buy one if there is.
This video was in my UA-cam recommended page...
Most of your favorite packages were originally written for nonWindows systems, and still better outside of Windows.
This includes over half of Ham Radio Deluxe. Meanwhile the author of HRD refuses to cross-compile his originated stuff for other systems. Which is dumb, as these days Windows as a market environment, isn’t even the dominant OS anymore. I know the authors’ thoughts because he responded to my question on the matter, via email.
More importantly, using Windows for specialized I/O, is an adventure in instability and inconsistency. These problems do not happen in other systems.
Good luck with yer hobby, but Windows usage of these packages keeps me from watching this video. Moving on now!
Sorry you feel that way but I am running 4 different computers all Windows 10 and never had any issues with Windows running amateur radio software. All the programs mentioned in the video (along with dozens more) run 100% all the time without issues. 73
ELB30 is NOT free. The website demands payment of $135.
Hope you saw that the links are shown several times in the comment section. The actual software is free. Your $130 link is not the correct link...see the comments.
RIP Joe
What links? Gone... K7GYB
David Vaughn no just look at the bottom comment for all the links
Got it... Thx & 73.
found it sorry
I am look as well and don't see it free. Where or what link did you use? Thanks
@@larryhubbard4545 Hi mate it's right down at the the bottom of the comment's in blue.
