1. HyperLog and its feature

HyperLog is a loging software for amateur radio by HyperSoft, U.S.A.. It works on MSDOS, and I have been using it for nearly 10 years. I just love it, and I have no interest at all in changing it in another software just becasue it's not for Windows. It cost you only US$50.00, but it will unite your shack systematically.

* It will search the callbook database such as Buck Master or other CDROM evertime you enter the callsign in the logbook.

* It has a radio terminal page, so you do not need any additional software for connecting a PacketCluster network.

* Once you connect to the PackeCluster in that radio terminal page, You will be abale to realize a comfortable operating system with the radio and PacketCluster.

* When you get DX information from the PacketCluster, it search your QSO data to check if you need that information or not, and ring a bell according to your setup in detail.

* When you get DX information, and you want to work him, only hitting one function-key copies the callsign of the DX station into the callsign area of the logbook.

* If you connect the cable to your radio via interface, Band, Frequency, and Mode are indicated in each area of the logbook constantly, as you select and tune on the radio. You just need to enter the callsign only and no need to enter other informations.

* You can see the most beautiful "gearing-play" when you have connected to the PacketCluster as above. That is;

(1) When you get DX information that you need to know, a bell rings.

(2) Only one hit of function-key let CALLSIGN, BAND, FREQUENCY, and MODE get into each area of the logbook.

(3) At the same time, band, tuning frequency, and the mode will be changed into the same one as the DX information from the Packet- Cluster. You'll be ready to call him only one second after you get DX information.

* If you want to send DX information to the PacketCluster regarding the station you worked, you do not need to enter his frequency nor his callsign. One hit of the function-key opens the DX-spot window to let you confirm the frequency and callsign which have been already captured in the logbook. One hit of Enter key let the DX information to be sent to the PacketCluster.

* Of course, it has super features of its basic function as logbook database, such as printing of the QSL card or tac-seal, QSL worked/ confirmed database, show the QSO histories of the station entered, etc..


2. Example of the System

In my case;

* P/C for exclusive use --- CPU i486/50MHz It is not necesary to be a high speed machine, in daily use.

COM1 to TNC for PacketCluster.( In real, to the COM port of the Node P/C with the reverse cable as I am running a Node of the PacketCluster.)

COM2 to Interface Unit.

* Interface unit ( KENWOOD IF232C )

* Radio ( KENWOOD TS950SDX )
