OTHER GREAT SOFTWARE

STAFILE™

STAFILE is our stand alone FCC FM database manipulation program. Using STAFILE you can instantly query the FCC database for a specific FM station or produce a list of stations which meet your criteria. Simply type a station's call letters and see a display of 21 of the station operating parameters, which you can alter if you wish using the edit function.

IDSeries™

The complete ID series of V-Soft Communications programs includes, IDAction (Flags changes in FM database), IDAir (Airports), IDCensus (Population), IDCities (US Cities), IDStations (Combined AM, FM & TV Stations database and IDTowers (FCC and NOAA towers.) The ID Series is explained in detail on another page of this web site.

FCCCURVE™

This program finds signal strength values (in dBu) by using the FCC's F(50-50) and F(50-10) tables (Sec 73.333.) You just type in the power in ERP, antenna height (above average terrain) and the desired signal contour level and the program will give you the exact distance to the contour. This program will also predict the signal strength of a station at a given distance from an antenna. FCCCURVE uses the actual FCC FORTRAN algorithms to produce the answers to your distance to contour applications, so when you use the program you receive the same numbers the FCC gets in Washington.

LATLONG™

As you would suspect, this program uses the latitude and longitude of a given location and the latitude and longitude of another point and then determines the exact distance and bearing between the two points by using both the FCC distance method and the great circle distance method. You can keep the reference coordinates and reiterate them to determine the distance and bearing to multiple points.

PLOTCOMN™

This program is a professional plotting program designed to drive the family of Hewlett Packard plotters. Place a map or a copy of a map into your plotter and use the plotter's digitizer buttons to tell PLOTCOMN where two points are located. From then on, PLOTCOMN will know the exact location of everything on the map. You can then type in geographic coordinates and the plotter's pen will move to your selected location. PLOTCOMN allows you to enter several distance points along a station's contour and it will spline fit the points to produce a smooth contour on your map. PLOTCOMN will plot in both the portrait and landscape modes. The program will plot arcs as well.

PLOTCOMN will also take a direct input from companion program CONTOUR. Produce a distance to contour table using CONTOUR and immediate have it plotted on your map by PLOTCOMN. PLOTCOMN will also produce an array of boxed labels for dressing up your maps. Available as a DOS program.
