Marine Radio Control
An NMEA Computer Interface Software for Icom Marine Radios
With Marine Radio Ops�, you can navigate the airwaves as deftly as you navigate the ocean. Part of the Radio Operations Center� software suite from W4PCSoftware, Marine Radio Ops brings advanced radio control technology to ICOM marine radio users, allowing you to tune your radio and antenna on the fly from your computer. Using a simple, point-and-click virtual radio interface, you can change transmit and receive frequencies, set the mode and tune your antenna on the fly.
What's more, when used with a terminal node controller (TNC), you can send and receive e-mail via HF at sea. Compared to the high monthly cost of satellite e-mail service, Marine Radio Ops could pay for itself before you reach open water. Or use Marine Radio Ops as an emergency back-up for e-mail when weather conditions limit satellite services.
Marine Radio Ops complies with the National Marine Electronics Association’s network interface standard. The NMEA outlines the requirements for a serial data communications network to interconnect marine electronic equipment on vessels.
For amateur (Ham) radio operators, Marine Radio Ops transforms your Icom marine radio into a ham radio transceiver.
