 1. RxWings2 now available
 RxWings version 2 has been released today.
 RxWings is a freeware program to support SWL-ing and
 DX-ing with the HF receivers AR7030 from AOR, the 
 NRD-535(D) and NRD-545 from JRC and the RX320 
 from Ten Tec.
 
 2. Overview of the program facilities
 The program supports the following SWL/DX activities :
 + Use of different types of frequency databases, especially 
   ILG and aerolist, for both querying and tracking
 + Logging of received transmissions
 + Analysis of received signal: S meter, spectrum, propagation
 + (Virtual) Memory management
 + Programming for unattended reception
 + Full direct control of your receiver
 
 3. New in version 2
 In v1 integrated control for the AR7030, NRD-535 and 
 RX320 was realised. In version 2 the control for the 
 NRD-545 is brought in. 
 Moreover a number of new functions are added, like : 
 - Hotkeys to control the main radio functions from the 
    keyboard only
 - Early warning on propagation improvements with the scan 
    frequency list option
 - Querying and tracking functions with the aerolist files of 
    Risto Hirvonen
 - Easily scanning of bands using different (but paired) 
    frequencies for transmitting and receiving
 - Printing option for the propagation impressions
 
 4. Extensive heplpfile separate available
 If you want to know more before downloading the application 
 archives you can  download just the doc. file RxWings2H.zip 
 (a zipped HTML Helpfile, incl 80 screenshots, 1.3 MB)
 
 5. Download and installation guidelines
 The files can be found via my homepage or you can go 
 directly to ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/ham/rigctrl/
 After downloading the archives RxWings2A.ZIP (3.3 MB) and 
 RxWings2B.ZIP (3 MB) unzip both  (the classic way) in a 
 temporary directory and then run the setup program from this 
 directory to install all necessary directories and files. 
 
 6. Support
 The HTML Helpfile RxWings2.chm, to be found in the 
 application main directory, will answer most questions about 
 the use of the program. But if any question remain unanswered 
 don't hesitate to contact me.
 
 See you, Jan Arkesteijn
