> Not sure if this has been mentioned on this group but an interesting

> 
> Although the software costs $75 one can download a trial version (30
> days). It's interesting to see that whilst away from the shack this
> evening the program correctly identified G3KEV (501.9 at 19:35) and
> also G0MRF (503.0 at 19:37).   The callsign picking routine must have
> been designed for the HF bands, where the protocol is very mature, so
> got a bit confused with the protocol used on 500kHz and eventually
> decided that David callsign was IO91TK! 
> 
> It seems to need a reasonable S/N, but could be quite useful if one is
> not able to personally monitor the band all of the time.  Have others
> tried it?
