Version 1.4 of tk545 is now available at:

   http://parnass.com

tk545 is multi-platform, open source software designed to control
and configure the Japan Radio Co. NRD-545 receiver.

I wrote tk545 chiefly for radio hobbyists who use Linux, MacOS X,
BSD, Solaris, Unix, or other non-Windows operating systems.
However, tk545 runs on Windows-based systems (95 and later), too.

This is a partial list of new features in Version 1.4:

1) New commands sort memory channels by frequency or by label,
in any 100-channel bank or in all 100-channel banks. Users can
save the sorted memory channel list to a CSV file.

2) Duplicate frequency check.

3) When importing channels from a CSV file, values for selectivity
and AGC are now optional and defaults will be used if no values are
specified.

4) New messages diagnose erroneous lines in a CSV file.

5) A new command under the Data menu clears all memory channels.
This is useful before opening a memory channel CSV file if you
want to override the current channels instead of merging the
channels in the file with the current channels.

I don't warrant the software, but it won't cost you anything.
