There are many owners who use their Ataris in connection
with Amateur Radio or electronics and this collection should prove
useful. Unless you understand these things some of these programs might
be a bit obscure and, to be honest, we don't understand what a lot of
them are supposed to do! If you know something about this branch of
computing we are sure you will be able to figure them out. The disk
begins with CODETEST, a simple morse code tutor and trainer. SATORBIT
gives
predictions of the orbits of the OSCAR8, RS series and UOSAT 9
satellites. ANTCAL is an antenna length calculator. Calculation of
electrical formulae is covered in EFORMS while RESISTOR enables you to
delve into that box of hundreds of resistors and find out just what
value and tolerance a particular resistor is. YAGICAL calculates
dimensions for constructing a Yagi antenna and RECOIL allows you to
design a small RF coil. LCCOMP gives values for LC circuits, PADPIX
helps in designing Attenuator pads and MINIMUF has something to do with
determining the radio frequency of sunspots(?). Finally CALLDUP and
CONTEST are a kind of database for logging various calls made and
stations worked. There is no documentation on this disk and we cannot
guarantee what the programs do but if you are into Radio or Electronics
you may well find something useful or educational here.
BOOT with BASIC. Select from Menu. Any special
instructions (if needed) will be shown under HELP.
