Morse for Palm OS is the perfect program for anyone who wants to learn Morse Code or just increase their speed. With over a dozen lessons, Morse makes learning Morse Code easy and fun. Each lesson has been designed to help you learn Morse Code as quickly as possible while ensuring your success. Developed by Thomas G. Ferguson, W1TGF |
|
|
RLC for Palm OS is a tool for identifying and determining the value of various electronic components including: Air-Core coils, Capacitors, Inductors, Resistors, Surface Mount components, Toroids. RLC also converts between different unit prefixes for Farads, Henries, and Ohms.R |
Grid Square for Palm OS calculates the Maidenhead Grid Square for a given latitude and longitude. Developed by Thomas G. Ferguson, W1TGF |
|
|
|
PalmProp is a software for Palm Os dedicated to
the forecast of HF radio wave propagation. It is technically based on the algorithm used by MiniFTZ4 (developed under DOS in the 90's) and on other concepts taken in both the ham radio and the specialized bibliography. PalmProp is 10 euros shareware, the required information for the registration is available in the provided help file. Developed by Gilles, F5HLA |
|
The program computes the distance and bearing between two locations. Many location formats work. favourite locations can be saved in Memo Pad and recalled into the program Developed by Rex Allers KK6MK |
| Want to learn Morse code? Or just play around
with it? Then check out these
screen shots! Cool features? Naturally, when dealing with a 100+ year
old communication technology, there's a limit on what one can consider
'cool'. But we gave it our best shot!
