MINIMUM SYSTEM CONFIGURATION: 386 20 MHz+ computer running Microsoft Windows 3.1 or greater. 386 enhanced mode required for multitasking . SVGA graphics strongly recommended. 4 Meg on board memory required 8 Meg for safer multitasking. Separate mouse and COM port as the graphics manipulation requires the use of a mouse or trackball. SSB or Ham General coverage receiver. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION HARDWARE Demodulator: Consists of stand alone 8 bit microprocessor digitizing signal at up to 2560 bytes per second. All signal processing is done off line minimizing machine load. The data is downloaded via serial port which also supplies the power to the demodulator. The demodulator is software configurable to run on COM1 through COM4 (COM 10 on win 95). Multiple demodulators can receive multiple faxes simultaneously through different COM. ports. SOFTWARE Weather Fax for Windows is written in Microsoft C++ and thus integrates itself seamlessly into the Windows environment. Several months have been dedicated to rigorous system testing on a wide variety of different manufacturer's machines. DOCUMENTATION AND ON LINE HELP The power of Windows help is used to the fullest here. The context sensitive help not only explains every corner of the program but also has an in depth guide to the World of Weather Fax. Point to the area of water you are sailing in and see the fax stations for that area listed along with their frequencies and schedules. In some cases, there are editorial notes from sailors who have used the stations. If you have a sound card, you can listen to clips from fax transmissions to help you identify the various tones to assist you to tune your radio. We feel that this product will appeal to anybody who has an existing DOS weather fax system as well as anybody planning to start out . It's functionality makes it the finest computer weather fax system on the market. The added value of the Morse code and TELEX enhances your ability to receive weather information in remote locations.
