Tune Up to the Advanced Radio Operations Center Digital Desktop for Your Windows PC
ROC Digital Desktop™ is the flagship product of the Radio Operations Center (ROC) suite of full-featured software solutions for commercial radio, MARS, marine radio and amateur (Ham) radio control. With ROC Digital Desktop, you can connect to, access, integrate and operate multiple radios, TNCs, rotors, logging applications, call books and more — all from within a single Windows application.
Formerly known as PacTerm™ and PKTerm™, ROC Digital Desktop is the only radio control software that combines the integration, automation and multitasking capabilities of Windows with the flexibility and control to operate in all the digital modes via a terminal node controller (TNC) or soundcard.
Flexible, responsive and packed with features, ROC Digital Desktop offers powerful Windows-based radio operation. ROC Digital Desktop offers you:
-
Broad support for multiple data streams and transmit/receive/listen modes, including morse code (CW), Baudot / RTTY, ASCII, NAVTEX, FEC, AMTOR, PACTOR, PSK31, MT-63, SOUNCARD RTTY, ARQ, GTOR/GMON (with Kantronics TNCs), SIAM and SSTV.
-
One-click access to any stream, mode, radio, TNC, soundcard and rotor.
-
Built-in and customizable macros that automate common commands, including pre-defined CQ, ID and QRT macros.
-
Support for dual TNCs, allowing radio amateurs to work in HF and packet modes simultaneously or to operate two single port TNCs on different com ports.
-
An integrated spectrum analyzer and signal waterfall.
-
A built-in mini logging program built on a Microsoft Access database, plus interoperability with Log Windows and DX4Win software.
-
Call book integration (including Sams, QRZ, Buckmaster and Flying Horse).
-
User-definable colors and fonts for received, transmitted and command text.
-
An unique automated assistant for continuous CQ and audible DX spot announcements.
-
Robust file transfer capabilities in both binary (data) and ASCII (text) formats, with an unlimited buffer for ASCII file transfers — an important feature for MARSGRAMS.
-
Multiple monitor windows, including separate windows for network traffic and for non-packet HF modes, from CW through NavTex.
-
One-click HF mode selection (with KAM model TNCs only).
-
PSK31 sound card support, using the TNC's keying circuit or the TNC's serial port for keying the radio with RTS or DTR, saving a serial port for other functions.
-
Includes an AGW Packet Engine for soundcard support.
-
Point-and-click settings for TNC commands at startup.
-
Cut-and-paste to and from any other Windows application.
-
Support for satellite telemetry with DSP-1232 and DSP-2232.
-
Compatible with over 70 radios from leading manufacturers including ICOM, Kenwood, Tentec, Yeasu, Alinco.
-
Support for multiple start-up/shut-down commands, so you can operate Packet, AMTOR and PACTOR bulletin board systems from your TNC, even when the software and your computer are shut down.
-
Supports the industry's most popular and pervasive TNC models from Kantronics and Timewave/AEA.
-
Includes an advanced TNC Wizard that takes the headaches out of connecting a TNC and configuring a soundcard for radio operation.
ROC Digital Desktop is a 32-bit Windows application designed from the ground up for Windows 2000, XP and Vista. That means true multitasking, seamless integration with other radio or PC productivity tools, and the ability to take full advantage of the speed and processing power of the latest Windows-based computers. Operators can control radio transmissions while simultaneously running logging programs, call book programs or any Windows application (including Microsoft Office).
For example, true multitasking gives operators the ability to work in HF and packet modes at the same time — a real advantage in contesting. It's like turbo-charging the sport of radio. And that's not to mention the personal productivity to be gained from keeping an eye on email and other applications while operating radios.
It's like remote control for your radio. Download your free, 30-day trial now.
Soundcard and Radio Control Version with logbook features:
Soundcard modes supported: RTTY, MT-63, SSTV, Packet (with AGW) and SSTV.
For Icom/TenTec:
The program takes advantage of the built in soundcard and CI-V interface via the USB port on the back of the IC-7200,IC-7410, IC-7600 and the IC-9100. Since these radios support the TX/RX commands in CI-V interface, only one cable is needed for digital modes, the USB cable. Other Icoms that support the TX/RX commands will only need the soundcard interfaced to them, and those Icoms that don�t have a soundcard or TX/RX commands can still use the program with a soundcard interface to their computer.
The Icom radios that support the TX/RX and soundcard in the radio are:
IC-7200, IC-7410, IC-7600, IC-9100.
Icom radios that support the TX/RX commands but will need a external soundcard are:
IC-703, IC-746 (original), IC-746 Pro, IC-756 Pro, IC-756 Pro II, IC-756 Pro III, IC-7000, IC-7700 and the IC-7800.
For Kenwood, Alinco and Yaesu, Flex, Elecraft:
The Kenwood radios that support the TX/RX and soundcard in the radio are:
TS-590
The program takes advantage of the CAT interface via the TTL to RS-232 port on the back of the Radio. Some of these radios support the TX/RX commands in CAT interface. The radios that support the TX/RX commands will only need the soundcard interfaced to them, and those Kenwoods that don�t have a the TX/RX commands can still use the program with a soundcard interface to their computer.
