Free Software

Most of the software programs and utilities listed below were developed as part of my Amateur Radio hobby and my general interest in programming. They are all free for personal use. Some are restricted to Amateur Radio use. None may be used commercially without permission.

All items are available (without registration or other types of rigmarole) from the Active Ham web site.

QForms (Amateur Radio, Emergency Communications)
QForms supports ICS, Radiogram, and Simple format messages. QForms allows entry of text into an electronic form to create a message. The message is saved in an XML format. The XML file is then sent (using any packet program) to a remote packet station that is also running QForms where it can be opened, displayed and printed. Optionally, a text version of the message can be created, saved and sent to a remote station (again, using any packet program you like).

UI-ALOHA (Amateur Radio)
UI-ALOHA is a UI-View32 add-on that calculates the ALOHA circle (effective RF packet communication area) of your APRS station. An XTR file is included to enable adding UI-ALOHA to your UI-View32 file menu. Just extract both files from the zip archive into your UI-View32 program directory. Requires UI-View32 version 2.03.

UI-MsgPrint (Amateur Radio)
UI-MsgPrint is a UI-View32 add-on that allows you to print select APRS messages that are received by your UI-View station; ideal for keeping track of message traffic during an event. UI-MsgPrint can be configured to retrieve and print the full text of Wx watches, warnings, and advisories if an Internet connection is available. Requires UI-View32 version 2.03.

UI-PHG (Amateur Radio)
UI-PHG is an add-on for UI-View32 that can draw (P)ower, (H)eight, (G)ain (and direction) circles on the UI-View map for stations reporting this information (PHGphgd). PHG is an estimate of the station's coverage area and can be used for a number of network management tasks and for estimating a needed path. Requires UI-View32 version 2.03.

Web Monitor (Internet Browsing)
WebMonitor is a windows program that provides a way to define a set of web pages and files that you want to monitor during specific events. For example, during a snow storm: you need weather information, you need road reports, you need access to the ARES web site, and you may even need to see the ARES ops plan. WebMonitor can package all of those resources together in a way that makes it easy to get what you need when you need it.

Delphi (Pascal) Code Formatter (Programming)
CF is a Source Code Formatter for Delphi programs, libraries, and packages. It reads and processes complete modules as well as code fragments. Code fragments must be complete structures, e.g., not a partial if statement, begin-end block, case statement, etc, otherwise the result is undetermined.
