> Hello Group,
>
> I am trying to collect data about software that runs the WJ-8711/8712 and
> the HF-1000 receivers.
> Especially I would like to know what programs are there, who wrote them or
> distributes them, what is the current version and what are your
> experiences.
> This is what I have:
>
> *	RCS32:
> By DRS (ex-Watkins Johnson): WJ-RCS32 is a collection of Windows
> applications for real-time control and monitoring of various DRS
> Technologies products. The applications operate under MicrosoftR WindowsR
> 95, 2000, NT or XP. The receiver control application includes
> both IF and RF
> signal displays that incorporate point-and-click tuning operations. It
> supports simultaneous operator-directed and automatic search operations on
> multiple receivers. WJ-RCS32 offers built-in signal-analysis
> database tools
> for easy editing, cataloging and hand-off to selected receivers. It also
> includes signal logging with digital storage of receiver audio on the
> controlling computer. Receivers supported: 860X up to 9908 Miniceptor or
> digital receivers.

> - Current version: Unknown. As XP is still supported, it might be
> that here
> are no "new" versions (Win7) available.
> *	ERGO 4:
> ERGO is integrated software for radio listeners. It provides
> fully-integrated receiver control, database and propagation information -
> all in one package. ERGO allows you to control either one or two
> receivers,
> and link these to station databases and propagation information. This way,
> you can scan the bands and the database will show you what you might be
> hearing, the map will show you where the signals are coming from, and the
> propagation chart estimates the best times for listening. Or, you can scan
> the database and the receiver will follow along. Or, you can click on the
> map and check what to expect from propagation conditions from the selected
> location. You can also listen to a station on one receiver, and
> check other
> frequencies with the second receiver. Getting the program to find the
> receiver can be a bit tricky. After having chosen for instance WJ-8712, I
> had to chose Com Port 7 as the interface port and not com port 1 as on my
> pc. All in all it works well for.

> - Current version of Dec. 31, 2008
> *	VisualRadio:
> Made by Liedtke GmbH, Feldtal, Germany. "VisualRadio", ver. 7 of
> 2002. This
> program was available in a version for the WJ-8712 receiver, but it is no
> longer supported. Liedtke GmbH introduced a new program by the name of
> "Falcon 9". As far as I know, WJ-receivers are not supported.
> - Link: http://www.visualradio.de/products.html
> *	ProjectWJ:
> I don't know who wrote this software. It is one file by the name of
> ProjectWJ.exe (12.08.2004)
> *	WJ8712:
> Another program I don't know much abaout. All in all the program
> consists of
> 24 files. The exe-file named WJ8712 is of 30.06.2000. The complete program
> is packed into a zipped file by the name of KWST.zip.
> It runs on my XP,- not bad. All data on one glance. Easy to control.
> Origin and autor are unknown to me.
> *	WJ8712:
> Carl McGowan (UK) wrote a program (I think) that comes in a zipped file by
> the name WJ8712v2.2.zip, date 24.10.2005
> All in all 25 files packed, with an exe file named "WJ8712", date
> 12.12.2004
> Currently I can not get it to work again. Possibly a driver
> conflict of some
> sort.
>
> Finally:
> Unfortunately programs like Ham Radio Deluxe or such have not not been
> modified for the WJ-rage of receivers.
> This program I use with the Icom 8500. It does have all the functions (and
> many) more that I use and it would be great to have that progarm running
> with the WJ-8712.
> Please let me know, if you have any additional information on the software
> listed before or other programs, that are available for the
> WJ-8712/HF-1000.
> Thanks. Best regards. Michael Starke
