>Beta version C of the Flexi-Tuner software for operating
>the Ten-Tec RX-320 is now available.
>
>Many thanks to all the beta testers
>for their excellent
>ideas. I have incorporated as many of them as possible
>in this version.
>
>The major features of the new beta version are as follows:
>
> 1. Operates the RX-320 from virtually any desktop
> or laptop computer, including older 386 machines.
> 2. Works in either DOS or Windows (this is a DOS
> program).
> 3. Implements 34 selectivity filters.
> 4. All modes: AM, USB, LSB, CW.
> 5. AGC implemented: Fast,
>Medium, Slow.
> 6. Tuning steps down go 1 Hz or up to 1 Mhz.
> 7. Adjustable squelch (operation improved).
> 8. Bandpass tuning (offset from center freq.)
> 9. Scanning using scan files. Adjustable parameters.
>New! 10. Built-in scan file editor.
>New! 11. S-meter.
> 12. Almost all parameters adjustable (great for
> knob twiddlers like me).
>New! 13. Improved interface (more logical).
>New! 14. Tighter code for faster operation.
>New! 15. Improved receiver initialization.
> 16. No mouse required (or supported).
>
>I have been running the new beta version for the past
>couple of weeks on an old Grid 1750 386 (25 Mhz) machine.
>It is really great to put the computer on my lap or
>coffee table while I sit in any easy
>chair and listen
>to the RX-320. The program has also been tested on a
>486 machine, a Pentium 166, as well as a 400 Mhz Pentium
>II. It works equally well on all of them in either
>DOS or windows.
>
>I would be happy to supply free of
>charge this Beta version
>to anyone interested who has an RX-320. The software will not
>function without an RX-320.
>
>The program is supplied along with several scan files in
>a single zip file. Installation and removal are simple, as
>the program does not affect any
>system settings either in
>DOS or windows (it does not mess with your registry, DLL's,
>or other system programs).
>
>The program is easy to use - just press various keys to engage
>the different functions.
>
>Installation, removal, and operating
>instructions are included.
>
>If there is enough interest, the Beta version may advance into
>a final version. In any event, I am not aware of any major
>bugs in the program.
>
>This has been a very fun project - sort of like homebrewing
>your own ham equipment used to be
>in the days of tubes and
>discrete components!
>
>If you would like to receive the latest beta version, send
>me an e-mail at mktg@ix.netcom.com and I will send you the
>zip file by return e-mail.
