Description
Use PSK31 and PSK63 modes to communicate with other amateur radio operators located around the globe. Decode radio signals within your receiver's range and view a graphical panoramic representation of the frequency spectrum, call-signs and conversations.
DigiPan 2.0, developed by the DigiPan Team, is a free multimedia software specifically categorized under Codecs. The latest version, 2.0, comes with a compact file size of just 651 KB and can be easily obtained via a download. The software, with its executable file named DigiPan.exe, offers extensive support for various Windows operating systems, including Windows XP, XP Professional, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11. Previous iterations, such as version 1.4, are also available.
DigiPan, an acronym for 'Digital Panoramic Tuning,' significantly enhances the ease of PANORAMIC reception and transmission specifically for PSK31 and PSK63 operations. Its standout feature is the panoramic display of the frequency spectrum, presented in the form of an active dial scale that spans the entire width of the computer screen. Depending on the transceiver IF bandwidth, users can visually monitor up to 40 to 50 PSK31 stations concurrently.
DigiPan 2.0 is especially compatible with low-cost transceiver kits for 10 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters, 40 meters, and 80 meters, such as the PSK-10, PSK-20, PSK-30, PSK-40, and Warbler (PSK-80) from Small WonderLabs. These kits fully exploit the panoramic capabilities of DigiPan through a 3000 Hz wideband IF.
One of the most significant advantages is that all stations visible on the waterfall are decoded simultaneously, with each station's callsign and text continuously displayed on a separate multichannel interface.
Pros:
- Free to download and use.
- Supports a wide range of Windows operating systems.
- Compact file size, easy to install.
- Allows real-time monitoring of multiple stations.
- Compatible with various low-cost transceiver kits.
Cons:
- Interface may seem outdated to some users.
- Limited to specific PSK operations.
In summary, DigiPan 2.0 is an efficient and capable tool for those involved in PSK31 and PSK63 operations, offering robust performance and various features beneficial for both hobbyists and professionals.
