I know there's one out there because I had this program on an old computer before I lost all data on my hard drive.
It was a remote control panel that made frequency selections and other adjustments easy by a click of a mouse.

Anyone know where I can locate it on the web?

By the way, you're not supposed to be using it unless:

1 - You have in your hand a valid General Radio Operator's License or GMDSS
Operator's License from the FCC, if you're USA or the equivalent from your
home country as this allows operation on ANY frequency and sideband...not
just USB on commercial marine channels.

2 - A valid General Class or Extra Class Amateur Radio License, if USA or
an HF ham license from your country.

That's why the manual says "DEALER ONLY" when it points to that data jack
back in the back.

Not my fault if you're busted on the wrong sideband off frequency
somewhere....The radio's channelized for a reason....

I'm just pointing out the obvious...no flamewar intended...

The program I had was FREE! You could store frequencies up 24 and adjust AGC, NB, and squelch plus receive and transmit on different frequencies. 2003 vintage program.

BTW, anyone can listen to communications without a license, and also may transmit as long as they are supervised by a licensed operator of that rig.

Thought you should know.

Bzzzt, Wrong again, would you like to try for what is behind Door #3????

Not even a Licensed Operator, can operate a Marine HF Radio that does NOT
have a valid Station License posted, legally...... AND a non-licensed
user "May" speak into the Microphone of a GMDSS Radio, HOWEVER, that
does NOT constitute being the "Operator", or, Operating the Station. The
Operator of a GMDSS Radio is REQUIRED to be Licensed as a GMDSS
Operator......

Boy, that's a hot-button topic.....but true. But, just having a DSC-
equipped, they told me was NOT a GMDSS-equipped ship.

Here's a little-known, but very important part of Part 80 of the FCC
Rules I bet everyone is guilty of violating.....

"§ 80.310 Watch required by voluntary
vessels.
Voluntary vessels not equipped with
DSC must maintain a watch on 2182
kHz and on 156.800 MHz (Channel 16)
whenever the vessel is underway and
the radio is not being used to communicate.
Noncommercial vessels, such as
recreational boats, may alternatively
maintain a watch on 156.450 MHz
(Channel 9) in lieu of VHF Channel 16
for call and reply purposes. Voluntary
vessels equipped with VHF-DSC equipment
must maintain a watch on 2182
kHz and on either 156.525 MHz (Channel
70) or VHF Channel 16 aurally whenever
the vessel is underway and the
radio is not being used to communicate.
Voluntary vessels equipped
with MF-HF DSC equipment must have
the radio turned on and set to an appropriate
DSC distress calling channel
or one of the radiotelephone distress
channels whenever the vessel is underway
and the radio is not being used to
communicate. Voluntary vessels
equipped with Inmarsat A, B, C, M or
Fleet F77 systems must have the unit
turned on and set to receive calls
whenever the vessel is underway and
the radio is not being used to communicate.

When was the last time you guys left your unused SSB radios tuned to
2182Khz and RUNNING with all that damned 2Mhz static when you were not
using it? According to the rules, the HF radio must NEVER be turned off
while underway, but must be left on 2182Khz or a DSC-Distress channel.

I've decided to worship Thor. My god has a hammer and isn't
afraid to use it. Your god is a pacifist who got nailed to a
tree.

Any questions?

It's a moot point as nobody enforces the rules anymore, especially
for voluntary vessels (in the U.S. anyway). And some of the wording of
this rule is mis-leading. Such as "Voluntary vessels equipped with VHF-
DSC equipment must maintain a watch on 2182 kHz..." How does one
maintain a watch on 2182 with just a VHF? Voluntary vessels are not
required to have any radio, yet they are saying if I have a VHF with
DSC, I must maintain a watch on 2182??? But what if I have an older
VHF without DSC. Now I don't have to listen on 2182 unless I also have
an HF? Typical gov't gobbledy-gook.

Larry is correct here, in that just because you have a DSC Equipped Radio
does NOT mean you are running, OR, complying with GMDSS, and have to
Maintain GMDSS Watches, or Operator Licensing. Another thing that needs
to be pointed out is, that you MUST have a Vessel Station License, IF
your vessel has an MF/HF Marine Radio Fitted, and you need to have a
Valid Operators Permit for you type of Station License. The 2182 Khz
Watch Requirement would only apply IF you have an MF/HF Radio Fitted.
Also be aware that IF your vessel is over 20 Meters in length (65 ft)
that you are REQUIRED to comply with the Bridge to Bridge Radiotelephone
Act, that REQUIRES that you either have, Two Operational Vhf Radios, one
of which is maintaining a Radio Watch on VHF Channel 13, or a Type
Accepted Vhf Radio that complies with the Bridge to Bridge
Radiotelephone Act, and has Two Receivers, one of which is fixed on Vhf
Marine Ch 13. Another NOTE here, If you should take another "Object" in
Tow, you are also REQUIRED, to comply with the Bridge to Bridge
Radiotelephone Act, NO Matter what your vessel Length is, Period.
The USCG is the Enforcement Arm for the Bridge to Bridge Radiotelephone
Act, in the US, and I have heard rumors that SOME Cowboy USCG Types have
actually cited Water-ski Boat Operators for not being in compliance, if
they **** of the Inspecting Officer, during a Safety Inspection while
afloat.

You have your hand an effective general radio operator license or maritime distress safety system business license from the FCC, if you from the United States or equivalent
home, the state allows any frequency and operations side and do not use the USB is the commercial sea lanes. But it is on my computer at work, my home recovering from surgery a few weeks.
