ASAPS V5.3 and
earlier
- ASAPS V5 is a 32-bit application,
making it suitable for use on a wider range of Microsoft Operating
Systems.
- A geographical map of the world
for use in generating predictions - terminals, circuits and areas of
interest can now be selected quickly and easily via "point and
click".
- When running either Field Strength
(Point to Point) or Area predictions:
- The option of using an
alternative, more complex, Polarisation Coupling Loss algorithm
that includes the specification of the actual polarisations of
the antennas.
- The ability to select
Prediction Confidence Levels for Signal-to-Noise Ratio
predictions, eg lower decile, median or upper decile values, or
anything in between.
- Frequency Set Selection or Test,
allowing you to predict the optimum frequency set for the HF
circuits you operate, or to assess the suitability of your current
frequency sets for those circuits.
- Surface wave range contour maps
for Area predictions.
- An on-line Tutorial that guides
the user through the key features of the program, and how to
interpret the output formats.
- A monthly reminder for the update
of ionospheric T indices, with the ability to do this automatically
via the web.
- An option to customise the colour
palette for easier interpretation of Area Prediction plots.
- The ability to view multiple Area
Predictions (0 - 3UT, 4 - 7UT, etc) on a single screen.
- Colour plots of BUF Modes for Area
Predictions.
- Frequency sets may be entered in
either MHz or KHz.
- The ability to delete individual
circuits from a prediction file or to delete the complete prediction
file, together with all other output files that are linked to the
deleted file.
- The ability to specify the top
margin when printing GRAFEX or Field Strength predictions.
- Installation software available
exclusively via CD format
- Upgrades available from ASAPS V4.
New registration details will be needed for Upgrades to ASAPS V5.
(NOTE: ASAPS V4 GRAFEX Files can be displayed and “Recomputed” by
ASAPS V5. However, ASAPS V5 cannot display ASAPS V4 Field Strength
or Area Prediction Files because extra data is produced by the ASAPS
V5 FPLOS Kernel for the Polarisation Coupling Loss and S/N Ratio
confidence levels).
