Coming soon - If you have a RACAL RA6778C receiver, this program will allow you to program the receiver and operate it under remote control from your PC. If you do not have receiver, you can still use this program as it will simulate the operation of the receiver as if you were using the front panel of the receiver.

This program at present is being converted from Visual Basic to RealBasic and has features being added to enhance the remote operation.

Download the Callsign Database (approx 1.6 MB zipped and expands to over 11MB unzipped)  from Industry Canada which is hosted on the Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC) website and is updated every Friday.

With this software you can view the information on all the assigned calls issued by Industry Canada,  add additional information to each call and when you update the database you will retain the additional information.  Presently it has a limited search - based on partial or full callsign.  Future versions will include full search capabilities, and the ability to create custom databases, with print and export functions. I haven't done any changes since my original release, but once I finish the RACAL Remote Control Program, I will get back to this program.
