These are Excel Workbooks that manage radio memories and do real-time control through serial or USB ports (with converter)..

These Workbooks will work only on a PC. You can open the workbooks on the Macintosh, but buttons will not work.

These workbooks can only be viewed with Open Office, but the functions and Radio I/O will not work because it does not have the VBA included that is needed - sorry.

No DLLs to load, just the Workbook.
