The program TURBO535 Version 6 (released March 2001 with Internet filenames 
T535V6A.ZIP+T535V6B.ZIP) has the  aim to control the SW receiver NRD-535(D) 
from JRC and to support the listening activities with: 

+ fast and easily to use and easily to update frequency data files 
  ( in V6 an ILGRadio db  filter fuction is added)
+ tracking mode to show which station the receiver is tuned to 
  ( from V6 this is also based on the ILGRadio db)
+ extended and fast logging facilities 
+ flexible NRD-535 memory management facilities 
+ analysis and processing of received signal strength 
+ long term timer programming facilities
+ direct receiver control 

In this 6th release the program has been totally overhauled and a number of additions 
and improvements are again be realised. 
The most important are :
1. Incorporating a conversion facility for the ILGRadio LW/MW (>9000 records) and 
SW (>12000 records) database to make these data suited as tracking files and 
improving the tracking facility, to optimise for using the ILG data (see chapter 
5.2 and 5.3)
2. The same converted ILGRadio database can also be searched on the following 
(combined) criteria : frequency, language, station name, transmitter location, 
time of broadcast, and target area,  to find very fast the type of broadcast 
you want to listen to and the related frequencies can directly be sent to the 
NRD-535 with one mouse double-click (see chapter 4.3)
This type of 'forward' control combined with the 'backward' control from the 
tracking facility gives the highest speed and accuracy in finding the station(s) 
you are looking for.
3. Totally renewed and improved memory management
4. Much easier, faster and  more user-friendly approach to use the BDXC and OWN files
5. In the Set-up you can select how many records (1000-30000) each BDX, OWN, 
LOG and ILG file (as maximum) can contain (see chapter 2.4, 4 and 5)
6. Added in the Set-up the "NO RX" program option to prevent that the program 
immediately crashes as no NRD-535 is connected to de serial port of the PC 
(see chapter 2.4)
7. Include the 'minimise' option in the receiver control main window.
8. The co-operation between and the stability during combined use of the BDXC, 
OWN, ILGRadio, LOG and TRACKING windows has been considerably improved. (chapter 4.4)
9. Also the combined use of SPECTRUM scanning with TRACKING is now possible. 
(see chapter 6.4)
10. Intelligent S-meter (see chapter 6.1)

It is a MS Windows-application realised with Visual Basic v6, pro. Window 95 or 
higher is needed to run this application.

To install and set-up the program you need to unpack both archives T53%V6A.ZIP 
and T535V6B.ZIP in a temporary diectory. This directory should then contain the
following files: readme.1st (the file you are reading now), setup.exe,  setup.lst,
T535V61.cab, T535V62.cab, T535V63.cab, T535V64.cab.

Run setup and follow the guideline in the setup wizard.

During beta testing some guys reported a message coming up while registrating
expsrv.dll . . If so, just click 'Ignore' to proceed.

The documentation file is available in two versions :
T535V6.PDF, Text + pictures, in english, PDF format
T535NL6.DOC, Text only, in dutch, Word 97 format
