[Elecraft] Schematic design software?

Hi Doug,

For simulation of analog circuits, there is a very nice (and free) version of Spice at:
http://www.penzar.com/

This is a very user friendly program and it's good for getting a feel for how circuits operate.
You can plot the currents and voltages versus time and also do frequency plots.

For drawing schematics and laying out small pc boards, a useful and also free program is at:

Subject: [Elecraft] Schematic design software?

Has anyone used an electronic circuit design software package?  I am mainly interested in being able to draw decent schematics, but
have noted that there are several packages that seem able to emulate some circuitry.  I am relatively inexperienced and would like
to learn more about solid state digital and analog circuits.  My latest electronic training was in 1968 where learned all about
tube-based television circuits.  Not very useful today.  I was also thinking of buying one of those electronics trainers where you
can do hundreds of experiments.  Thought it might be a good way to get exposed to the "new" stuff.  Does anyone have any thoughts on
those?  Ramsey sells some nice ones. (http://www.ramseyelectronics.com)

Building the K2 and K1 and a variety of the add-ons was a great experience and wetted my long-dormant appetite for experimenting
with electronics.

Thanks in advance for any opinions shared.
