Best wishes John ** Supplied qwk files are for UK regions only but user defined files can also be created. Nic has put an enormous amount of work into this programme, for the benefit of us all. if you like it, then don't forget that all important 'Donate' button. Download PP Mode A/C now and join our Mode A/C tracking network. If you are a mil radio fan then this is a 'must have' ! Remember to tick 'upload Mode A/C' in Options sharing set up so that your fixes will appear on the network. The console provides an excellent add-on and makes it much easier to locate and track those 'invisible' targets. Initially I suggest once downloaded and set up, the console is trialled in basic mode by ticking 'XXnnnn only' and the 'auto logging' boxes, in the settings section, select the sqwk file for your area from the drop down menu on the front page, press the 'Fix On ' button, then 'start' The console can be downloaded via Nic's dropbox link. There is an excellent help file detailing all the features. Members of the Mode A/C working group have been using this system for some weeks providing hundreds of automated Mode A/C fixes. Activity can be logged and a GPX file created. In fact if there are two or more active Mode A sqwks, it will alternate between them. Fixes will continue until the sqwk fades.It will then search again. The console allows the user to select a sqwk file from a supplied list** covering their reception area and once running the programme will scroll through the received XXnnnn mode A sqwks and attempt an mlat fix.
