TH-F6/F7 Pilot, TH-F6 TH-F7 CAT software

Requirements:

The software is written in Java so it can be used in every computer environment that supports: I have tested the software, with a TH-F7e, in: Let me know if you are using the software in another environment and, if possible, how you managed to make it work.

Download and run:

Once the Java environment is installed, the only necessary step to use the program is to unzip the distribution file in a directory and run it. At the moment, three different zip files are available.
  1. TH-F6F7_Beta1_Windows_Java32bit Download
  2. TH-F6F7_Beta1_Windows64bit_Java64bit Download
  3. TH-F6F7_Beta1 Download
The first two files come with the serial port support files inside. So, just run the file run.bat.
The third one is platform independent. To run the TH-F6/F7 program from that, you need to install the serial port support and run the command “java –jar TH-F7Pilot.jar”. To install the serial port support, please refer to the RxTx project instructions.

Known issues:

This software is an amateur creation, and was done in spare time. But, althought it’s very far away from the high quality commercial software to which now we are used to, I am sure that it will be possible to use it with satisfation.
