N4PY Software is your source for high quality, effective rig control software for your transceiver.  N4PY offers rig control software for a wide variety of receivers from the Elecraft K3 to the Ten Tec RX 320 receiver.  N4PY Software has been in existence since 1999. There are many reviews of this software on Eham.   All N4PY Software will run for 10 days without a password. Just download the software you are interested in to get a 10 day free trial.   And don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have by sending an email to me.

When you purchase N4PY software, you can install the program on all your own computers for your own use.
The license is for you and not your computer.  The software that you purchase will run forever with no time limit.  Your initial purchase includes all program upgrades for 1 year.  If you want additional upgrades after 1 year, it is just $30 a year for upgrades.  If you skip several years and then want the latest upgrades, it is still only $30 to get the
latest version upgrade.

N4PY software is more than just a rig control program.  It is also is a major equipment integrator.  If you want to use Tmate2 or FlexControl or Behringer DJ controller and autotuners and amps and four or five different panadapter programs and winkeyer, then N4PY software is your only choice.

All N4PY software programs run on windows operating systems Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 (including the 64 bit versions of XP, Vista, and Windows 7, 8 and 10).  I have older versions on the "previous versions" page that will run on Windows 95, 98, ME, and 2000.

I now have support for the Denkovi USB 8 relay board.  This board allows you define which relay is energized by frequency.  In this way you can implement auto antenna selection by wiring these relays to control an antenna selector.

These relay boards are very inexpensive and easy to hookup.
See denkovi.com/usb-relay-boards

Now Available - Finally a pod knob that will work with all radios and does not have the classic focus problem. 
All N4PY programs now have support for a knob that has 4 buttons and will provide excellent tuning knob action.  This knob can be used with ANY radio that N4PY can control.  This  includes the Elecraft K3, K2, all Icom radios, some Yaesu radios, and Tentec radios.  This knob can be configured for over 30 different actions.  And this knob can control the radio even when the N4PY program does not have the focus.  This will greatly improve Remote operation and those persons that wish to have a
tuning knob on their desk. The knob can control VFO A, VFO B, RIT, PBT, Volume, and many other things.

You can purchase this knob on the Flex radio website at www.flex-radio.com.  Go to the Online Store and select "Accessories" to find it.  N4PY Software has no connection with Flex Radio.

DX Patrol

I have found a really nice SDR radio to use as a panadapter.  It is DXPatrol from Vibroplex.  This SDR radio covers 100 khz to 2 GHZ and works extremely well as a panadapter radio.  The best part is it is only $99 and does not need a sound card to work as a panadapter.  I am running it with HDSDR free software and this integrates well with all my software.  You run this radio either with a separate receive antenna or share the same antenna with your transceiver.  Many radios have easy ways to share the antenna such as the Icom 7600, Tentec Orion, Tentec Omni VII, just to name a few.  If you get this SDR radio, send me an email and I will give my HDSDR setup for the radio.   Link for DXPatrol

Supported Operations
All N4PY programs have support for the Telepost LP-100A watt meter, LP-500, LP-700 and also the Telepost
LP-Pan panadapter.  See www.telepostinc.com for information of these products.

N4PY programs fully support the LDG AT-200PC Autotuner.
By using this tuner, tuning your antenna has never
been easier. This allows the program to recall tuner settings
when going to a new band without the need to transmit.

N4PY programs fully support the Palstar AT-Auto tuner.
The N4PY program will keep this tuner up to date on the current
frequency to allow the tuner to set its tuner values without
the need to transmit.

N4PY programs fully support the LDG DTS-4 and DTS-6 coax
antenna switch via serial port control. This means my program
will automatically select each antenna position via frequency ranges
that you define for each antenna switch position. There is also a
simple way to manually select antenna positions via a mouse click.

N4PY programs fully support the Tokyo High Power Amplifier HL-1.5KFX.
Regardless of what radio you are actually running, my program will send
Kenwood commands to this amplifier through a second serial port. This
allows full automatic band switching for the amplifier even with Tentec
radios.

N4PY programs fully support the SPE Expert Amplifiers.  The program make
it so that you never make a mistake and overdrive these amplifiers.
Regardless of what radio you are actually running, my program will send
Kenwood commands to this amplifier through a second serial port. This
allows full automatic band switching for the amplifier regardless of what radio
you are actually using.  And if you configure the amp for a Flex radio, my
program will receive the drive level messages from the amp and you will always
have the correct drive level.

N4PY programs support the Acom 2000 Amplifier. As you change frequencies
on your radio, the Acom 2000 will automatically tune itself to the new frequency without
the need to transmit.

N4PY programs fully support the K1EL winkey and winkey II keyer.

Band buttons - There are 9 CW band buttons, 9 SSB band buttons,
and 11 SWL band buttons.  The SWL band buttons can be redefined to
any frequency range you desire.  Some make these be digital band
buttons.  No other program has this.

Full TenTec remote tuning pod programability - You can define each
of the 18 buttons on the TenTec remote tuning pod for over 30
different functions for the tuning knob.

Full tuning pod emulation -  You can emulate a tentec remote tuning
pod with the PC keyboard F keys and the mouse wheel.  You can even
even define an F key as an "UP" key for instant split.  If the
DX station suddenly announces he is listening up 5, all you do
is press the "UP" key followed by a 5.  This instantly makes VFOB
be VFOA plus 5 khz and turns on split.

Radio memory save to a file and restore from a file - Most radios
have a way for the program to save and restore memories.  This allows
easy setup of radio memories.

Amptune feature allows saving amplifier drive setting for each
band segment.  And when you use this feature to tune your amp,
the program automatically moves the radio up 5 khz and then moves
it back when the tune is complete.

Automatic 10 minute CW ID.

Calibrate - You can calibrate your radio so that the program displayed
frequency is very accurate.

Very flexible Transverter support - The program allows up to 7
transverters to be user defined.  You can specify the drive level,
frequency range, and IF frequency for each transverter.  This allows
the program to always display the actual operating frequency and
you don't have to worry about forgetting to lower your drive.

Unique control of Sub-receiver - For radios that have a sub-receiver,
right clicking on most buttons sets the values in the sub-receiver
for that button function.

Right click on "Split" button to set repeater offset - For FM mode
right clicking on the split button will set the normal split offset
for the current operating frequency.

Panadapter support - Any Flex radio, the RFSpace SDR-IQ, HDSDR
controlled radio,  or the Perseus receiver can becombined with your
radio for perfect Panadapter operation.  Also,a panadapter radio,
contest logging program, and CW Skimmer can allbe configured to
run with the program at the same time.

Program will not allow you to transmit outside your license class.

Band edge lines between CW and SSB can be moved to allow for Foreign
operation and make the band edges match the countries operating
privileges.

Full CW keyboard operation with 5 CW memories.

Kenwood, Yaesu, and K3 voice recorder operation.

User defined default filter, AGC, and step size for each mode.

Frequency event timer to allow the frequencies to be set at
specific times and days of the week.
