Transmitting Now: the executable name is fullfreq.exe This is a thin program for Windows to quickly check or search the data of a transmitter from EiBi database. You should be able to use it very well on Linux with Wine. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Disclaimer Mauro Minnella, the author, gives You the license to copy and use this program as you like for free only for personal use, excluding for any commercial profit,but with these conditions wich constitue part of his will: he will gives no warranty about bugs, problems, fitness to your purpose and he will not be assumed responsible for damages of any type derived from the use of the program.

Click with the right button of the mouse on a free space on the left of the program window, then select preferences (the only choice). Set your time zone (sorry, no half hour is possible) and check if you are in the summer time. Then double click the box 'database'. Select the CSV database from Eibi, wich must be the semicolon delimited type on a text file (You can select the whole text on the http file, copy and paste on a blank document of notepad). Click on Done and exit from the program. Restart it, then you can fully operate. This operation must be done everytime you change the database, because the program translates the file in another file with a different format called "Dbase.lst" The program will search for you the station satisfying the values indicated in the boxes on the left. The button Now whill make the search for actual time(UTC), but you can search any other you will write in the UTC box and pressing the button Find. If you let the UTC box blank you will get the data indipendently from the on-air time. The class limit is a value from 1 to 5 indicating the distance or the probability of a country to be heard from your home. These are stored in the file "ITU.INI". You can edit the file with the notepad as you like. The file with the program is good for Europe. The button When gives you a list of the transmitters on the same frequency of the selected station in the grid, and the times when most probably you can hear it, but not taking in account the propagation characteristics. You can limit the search to the station of the selected or higher class. Clicking the right button on the grid you can 1) sort the displayed data by the selected column 2) make a search on the displayed column 3) display only the data with the indicated value 4) remove the data with the indicated value from the display 5) save to a text file 6) save to a delimited file type. 7) print on the paper the displayed data Parameter on call of the program: a name of a text file with a sigle line reporting the frequency to check. This allow you to call the program from another one to verify a single frequence automatically. Please, for any bug send a e-mail to mauro.minnella@tele2.it I will be glad if you would inform me that you are using the program (you can do with a nickname) and send me your comments. For any problem about data in the database you should contact EiBi directly.
