SailMail Downloads

 

 

 

AirMail for use on SailMail:

AirMail software for SailMail    is the download page for the Airmail client program for SailMail.  This file is the one to use either for a new installation of AirMail or to upgrade a current installation.   Airmail is compatible with Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, and XP.  This page also has the downloads for the spell checker and the propagation programs that are compatible with AirMail as well as firmware files for various SCS Pactor modems.

 

AirMail for use on both Ham Networks and on SailMail:

It is easy to "retrofit" AirMail for ham use (or vice-versa for SailMail use).  Go to the Airmail 3 ham page (or the AirMail 3 SailMail page) to download and install the  version you don't have (ham or SailMail).  Install it into the same folder as your current version.  The ham download can be installed after the SailMail version or vice-versa. 

 

Weatherfax Software including GRIB file viewer:

AirMail WeatherFax Companion   (http://www.siriuscyber.net/wxfax) is a free weatherfax program for Windows  written by Jim Corenman (the author of AirMail).    Its substantial advantage (beyond the attractive price) is that it can remote control your radio according to a schedule of preprogrammed times and frequencies (assuming you have a radio with a supported interface e.g. Icom 710).  It uses the radio setup settings from AirMail and so is convenient to set up.  It also has the outstanding capability to view GRIB weather data, which you can retrieve from the SailDocs system or any other source of grib data.

JVcomm32 (www.jvcomm.de) and Mscan Meteo (www.mscan.com) are other programs that run under Windows 95 (or 98) using the SCS PTC-II Pactor-modem to receive weatherfax over your HF radio.  SailMail members have reported good luck with both of these programs.
