WD6CNF has a number of cool-looking programs on his website – hotamateurprograms.com. Most of them are Vista-compatible, and they are all available for free, including:
- CW Decoder
- Audio Spectrum Analyzer
- Audio Generator/Audio Spectrum Analyze
- Digital Voice Keyer
- Simple Windows Packet Controller
- DSP Audio Filter
- Instrument Tuner
- Dual Channel Oscilloscope
- Dual Function Generator
I plan to download and try out the CW decoder at the museum. It would be nice to have a program that will display what’s being sent and received while I am working CW there.
If any of you do download and try out some of these programs, please comment below.

I have been following your blog and wanted to say thanks for bringing out good information from the web. I shall try CW decoder as well, not sure if oscilloscopes would require some hardware homebrewing for the software to work – any ideas on that?

Thanks for your kind word, Gaurav. My guess is that the oscilloscope program uses the sound card input, so it’s really only useful at audio frequencies.
