FCC Database look-up
TRX-Manager provides automatic callsign look-up from the license records of FCC (Federal
Communications Commission of the USA). The FCC's listing (available for public download) is
updated every week and thanks to this utility, you can have very up-to-date information.
Using this feature requires the installation of the FCC database.
How to install the FCC database ?
FCC offers free download of the full listing of the license records. However, this listing needs
to be compiled into a database for use from TRX-Manager.
You have to follow this procedure :
1.
Please go to the FCC Web Site http://wireless.fcc.gov/uls/index.htm?job=transaction
and download L_AMAT.ZIP (Amateur Radio Service / Licenses). The file is about 90
MB
2.
Extract EN.DAT and AM.DAT (optional) from this file
3.
RUN FCC_Call.EXE (distributed with TRX-Manager) and click the Setup button
4.
Fill in the required option : Path for EN.DAT, AM.DAT and FCC.MDB (AM.DAT License Class
info is optional)
5.
Click the CREATE button in order to create the FCC.MDB database
6.
Please be patient (the process takes about 30 minutes for 790000 records per file) !...
7.
You are now able to look-up callsign from FCC_Call or from TRX-Manager
Setting TRX-Manager
You still have to set up TRX-Manager for automatic callsign look-up. Please :
1.
Open the Preferences/Software submenu
2.
Under HAM Bases, fill in the path for FCC.MDB by clicking the open button
3.
Check the mark for automatic callsign look-up
