Thank you for your interest in Smart Kenwood Control 32.  The Smart Kenwood
Control 32 program is designed to both simplify and enhance shortwave listening
on the Kenwood R-5000 and TS-440S Communications Equipment.  Smart Kenwood Con-
trol 32 integrates a database of frequency information with the power of re-
motely controlling the receiver. Smart Kenwood Control 32 emulates most of the
R-5000 and TS-440S' front panel controls, adding the capabilities of tuning by
user selected increments while adding the name of the station you're listening
to and a user-selectable 24-hour clock (local/UT) to the continuous display.

Aside from displaying the station you're tuned to, Smart Kenwood Control 32
allows smart queries to the integrated frequency database.  Using the Windows95
or WindowsNT windowing environment, Smart Kenwood Control 32 allows the user to
choose from a list of stations broadcasting at that time.  Once a station is
selected, a separate window is created containing that station's list of cur-
rent frequencies and target areas.  The user can automatically tune the recei-
ver by selecting any frequency from any database query.  A marking feature is
included, to allow the user to highlight particularly reliable frequencies in
the database.

Smart Kenwood Control 32 allows most receiver functions to be changed with a
simple click to the main "faceplate" window.  A special tuning bar allows the
user to tune the radio by a user-defined stepsize, or nudge the radio by 0.01
kHz.  Smart Kenwood Control 32 also contains an integrated Logging System,
which is greatly enhanced over the current DOS and Windows versions.  The Log-
ging System allows the user to enter more data, tune the receiver directly from
the log display, and create professionally printed logs.  Smart Kenwood Control
32 also includes an integrated Memory Management System, that allows the user
to capture the radio's memories, fill the radio with user-defined memory files,
as well as print these memory files in a handy listing for use when the recei-
ver is off.  Smart Kenwood Control 32 contains an extensive help file that dou-
bles as an on-line users manual, with context sensitive help, enabling the user
to get the most out of every feature.

Smart Kenwood Control 32 imports FineWare's SWBC Schedules database files. Reg-
istered users of Smart Kenwood Control 32 are entitled to an integrated import-
