NTS Message Manager Software (Latest Update 10-08-09)

NTS Message Manager is for the amateur radio operator handling messages via the National Traffic System. It contains a database that stores the entire message, including who it was obtained from and when and who it was delivered to and when. It will also format the message in digital format.

Extras in the program allow display of HX descriptions, ARRL Numbered Radiogram descriptions, an updatable list of common NTS Messages, Phonetic alphabet, Pro-signs and Pro-words, Q Code descriptions and an updatable list of Amateur Radio Operators.

Some of the screens from NTS Message Manager are shown below.

 Welcome (About) Screen

Home screen used for messages.

NTS Messages may also be displayed in a list format to quickly find a message. Double clicking on that message number returns you to the main screen with that message displayed. Below is an example of the List View.

There are several other windows to display related information, such as HX Descriptions, ARRL Radiograms, Common Book Messages, Regular Operators, Standard Phonetic alphabet, Prosigns and Q codes. An example of these is shown below (Radiograms). There is also a link to callsign lookups on the internet from the Regular Operators screen.
