RadioControl is a great asset to any radio in the shack. I have been using
RadioControl for years for my AR5000+3 and Icom PCR2500. Best money I ever spent!
-- Vincent, United States
I took a long while evaluating a lot of packages and RadioControl was the only
one that did just about everything I wanted AND worked as advertised.
A competing package fell down in that it was so unreliable in memory management! So much
so that I wonder if it had ever been tested in the real world.
My only regret is that I did not upgrade sooner from the RadioControl Lite Edition to the
RadioControl Professional Edition hi.

Text and CSV Import/Export Filter available
The new import filters allow you to import and paste tab-separated text and CSV content
from a file or the Windows clipboard into a RadioControl Frequency Database or
Memory File.
We have also completely rewritten the existing Text and CSV export filters for all
three RadioControl document types (Frequency Database, Memory File and Frequency
Search File).
In addition, we improved the format of the Text and CSV rows the new export filters
generate to allow an easier consumption by third party applications as well as a
world-wide exchange of such data between users without having to worry about date, time
and number representations, localized field names or whether the CSV content uses a
comma or semicolon as field separator character. The new format harmonizes all of these
aspects and, for the RadioControl Frequency Database and Memory File, it can be seen as
the text-based equivalent to the native file format.
With this new set of import/export filters, you can:
Backup your RadioControl Frequency Databases and Memory Files in a format that can
surely and easily be read even in 10, 20 or 30 years from now.
Temporarily export data from RadioControl Frequency Databases or Memory Files to
make bigger changes to it, for example with Microsoft Excel or
OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice Calc, and re-import the data into the original
RadioControl document.
Build a RadioControl Frequency Database or Memory File in an easy way by converting
your existing frequency lists into the format expected by the RadioControl Text/CSV
import filter. You can do that by hand, e.g. with Microsoft Excel or
OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice Calc, or write a small application or script that reads
your frequency list and converts it into the corresponding RadioControl format.
The new Text and CSV import/export filters are free for licensed RadioControl
users and can be downloaded in the non-public part of the download area.

Did you know that other applications and scripts can
access and use RadioControl functionality?
The RadioControl COM Automation Plug-in and RadioControl CORBA® Automation Plug-in
expose a large part of the RadioControl object model in form of COM/OLE Automation objects
and CORBA® objects, respectively, allowing other applications and scripts to
access RadioControl functionality as well as the installed radio devices.
Examples of application scenarios that can be realized with these plug-ins are listed
in the following:
Integration with an existing custom application
Integration with Microsoft® Excel® and Microsoft Access®
Implementation of custom functionality
Access and use of RadioControl functionality on non-Windows® operating
systems like Mac OS® X or Linux®
Remote radio control and radio monitoring over the LAN and the Internet
Automation of simple repetitive tasks with scripts
Extension of RadioControl by features not (yet) available
Note: Some of these application scenarios can only be realized on either the
COM or the CORBA platform.
