PropMan 2000 V2 Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Rockwell Collins has released Propman 2000 V2.3 and it works brilliantly.

It reports the best time of day, maximum useable frequency, and best path to propogate HF between any two points on the planet; relative to antenna gain, transmission mode, and rf power.

Rockwell Collins has fixed the internet links which automatically retrieve space weather data, and I am running it with MS Windows 7.

It is no longer possible to auto-download the space weather data from the Internet, which was the chief advantage of PropMan 2000.

"Since the US Government has ceased making this file public, we have been unable to create a new PropMan.INI file to solve the problem. Our best
solution has been to make the NWRA link available on the www.propman2000.com site to allow the user to manually input that value.

Rockwell Collins PropMan is HF Made Easy. It is a very powerful VOCAP expert software program for Microsoft Windows using real time data from the internet to advise Radio Operators of the best HF frequencies to communicate between any two Cities in the world at any time over a 24 hour period, Short or Long Path.

It opens up DX worldwide! It takes into account Transmitter Power, Antenna Gain, and much more..
