|
Full
transceiver control via buttons in the software. Frequency and mode
will be polled automatically from the transceiver. So a normal tuning
on the transceiver itself will be detected and shown in the software
vfo's. |
|
|
- |
Full
duplex (two-way) crossband repeater with semi repeater-offset. The
FT-847 transceiver itself is only able to do one-way crossbanding.
|
|
|
- |
Full
TCP/IP network remote control of the transceiver. It is possible
to start the software either in Server or Client mode. So it would
be possible to control your transceiver in rel time via local TCP/IP
networks or also via Internet, without the use of third party remote
control software. This function has been updated for Voice over
IP (VoIP). |
|
|
- |
Full
duplex Voice over IP (VoIP) program part, to submit AF audio data
via TCP/IP networks (also via Internet) in Client and Server mode.
There is no need anymore to use third Party software like MS-Netmeeting
or Speakfreely. The Voice over IP program part will use the GSM
standard to provide fast communication and a narrow bandwidth (for
slower modem connections). |
|
|
- |
Open
memory database with an unlimited amount of possible memories in
an overall view. The memory banks of all amateur radio bands are
visible and useable with ease at the same time. Several additional
memory banks are available. Also memory banks with the possibility
to save offset, DCS, DEC, ENC and Easycomm-data are available. The
easycomm-data can be sent to another serial port to drive easycomm-compatible
hardware like rotors and much more. |
|
|
- |
Scanning
of single memory banks, there is no need to scan all memory banks
at the same time. Your FT-847 transceiver has only 100 internal
memories, which must be scanned all at once. If you've saved frequencies
out of different bands and if you want to scan these memories, you
'll hear a rapid clicking of relais-type-devices in the transceiver.
It is not proved, but we're sure, that continuous long time period
scanning, will shorten the life of these relais type devices. |
|
|
- |
Clone
data memory-management for the internal memories of the FT-847®
transceiver. FT847-SuperControl® is able to read, edit, archive
and send back clone files to the transceiver. It's easy to set up
different clone files and copy them on your harddrive. If you want
to use special setup's in the transceiver, simply send the wanted
clone file to the rig. Clone files can be edited with the help of
existing FT847-SuperControl® memory banks of course. |
|
|
- |
Original
like copy of the meter bars (s-meter, power-meter, discriminator-meter,
etc.). |
|
|
- |
Support
of up to eight different serial ports. These ports are to be used
when converting an USB-port to a serial-port as many of the converting
software's will take COM5 for the first converted USB to serial
port. |
|

Logbook

Wave
recording of qso's or other important signals. FT847-SuperControl®
has the possibility to record signals either when the squelch has
been opened or on other selectable events. For this feature, a standard
sound-card in the computer is necessary. The recorded data will
be saved automatically to a special drawer and can be replayed at
any time |
|
|
- |
Internet
based telnet dx-cluster logger shows the latest dx-spots in the
vfo-display of the software |
|
|
- |
ARS
- detection after modification of the transceiver. It's also possible
to set up different offsets in the same band. |
|
|
- |
Spectrum
scope of AF (Audio frequency). |
|
|
- |
Full
featured vfo scanner with software based quick memory bank - function
(QMB). It's possible to set up different scan ranges. |
|
|
- |
Voice
announcements of frequency, mode and other important functions. |
|
|
- |
Configurable
homechannels for each amateur radio band |
|
|
- |
Calculated
target frequencies on two additional VFO-display’s for the use with
transverter-devices. The software is capable to administrate up
to four transverter- or downconverter devices and is able to display
the final frequencies in realtime. Of course we can use these final
frequencies for the Doppler calculation in satellite mode! |
|
|
- |
DDE-interface
(Dynamic Data Exchange) to satellite-tracking programs (NOVA®,
Satscape® etc.) for Doppler-correction in satellite mode. The
Doppler-corrected frequency will be send to the transceiver, so
no manual tuning is needed anymore, when working satellites. RX-
and TX-VFO will be continuously updated with doppler-corrected data.
Of course, possible calculated transverter frequencies will be taken
as source for the final calculation of the doppler shift. So this
part is 100% compatible with AO-40 or other super-high frequency
satellites. Various possibilities to alter the way to calculate
the doppler shift itself are available in the settings. |
|
|
- |
Priority
channel supervision (up to eight Channels at the same time) |
|
|
- |
Visual
band scope with different scan-steps and various possibilities. |
|
|
- |
EasyComm
interface to drive a rotator or other EasyComm-compatible hardware
via special memories and the doppler correction function. FT847-SuperControl
is able to track a satellite with the Help of NOVA. Azimuthal and
elevational data which is also provided by NOVA, can be sent via
another serial port to your Easycomm-hardware. So it is possible
to track the satellite perfectly with your az-el antenna-rotator. |

Remote
control the FT-847 transceiver via TCP/IP networks possible (also
via the internet). |

|
|
- |
Full

Full
support for the W4RT-Electronics OTT-847 interface. With this interface
you can drive automatic antenna tuners from LDG (Supported are the
AT-11MP, RT-11 and A-1000, as will be future models). FT847-SuperControl
offers a One-Touch Tune and a No-Touch Tune function. That means
automatic tuning without a push of a button! |
