Live MUF V6 has finished development now. I am working on
V7 . If you want see the latest V7 version please
look at the V7 page. V6 is only intended now for people still running old Win95 or old PCs like P120 and low memory etc. 73 de Dave
LIVE_MUFV6
FREE LIVE MUF Calculator by EA6VQ-Gabriel and G7RAU-Dave for live calculating
the possible sporadic e MUF on VHF during es season via a telnet link into dxc.
This is now full release software (Just Cosmetics/usability to update in the
future hopefully).. Download and install at your own risk, we take no
responsibility for any problems that are encountered with installing and
running the application!!
We do not promise the accuracy of this, you will need to make assumptions for
yourself where necessary.
Minimum PC (As tested) P120, 24mb memory
Minimum screen resolution is 800 by 600 16 colours (possible just on 640/480 if
you maximise app)
Tested on Win95v1 and up, works on Win95v1 if you have your system up to date
with patches, e.g IE4 and com updates.
Download and run live_muf.exe (make sure
you don't overwrite your system files with older ones from this package as this
was build in win98.. Choose not to overwrite, you have been warned!).
Please also read about the data engine and jet updates as you might need these
on your PC also to get live muf up and running.
If the app won’t run or freezes have a look in muf_errors.log in the livemuf
install directory or email me the file and I will have a look. Normally the
problem is mdac or jet updates needed (See MDAC)
NOTE: If you already have the program installed and running and you only
require an update then scroll down to livemufexe.zip.
It is very rare the whole package would need to be reinstalled for an update.
The manual is available by pressing F1 when you are in
the app or you can read the manual here.
Also you only need to update the Callsign / Locator database
file, not the whole package for the latest file version.
Live MUF jumped from V4 to V6 because V5 was not suitable for public
comsumption, too many bugs so I scrapped and rewrote the app!
If you run livemuf V4 and really wish to upgrade then email me and I will
advise how to do it, but it is much better to leave V4 installed and install V6
also or copy spots.mdb to your archive and uninstall livemuf.
Thanks to
Shelby W8WN for a link in North Amarica for Live MUF. Please all users
world wide send me suggestions for making the app more usable, I shall
endeavour to include these in EXE updates (time / qrl
permitting!).

MDAC DATA ENGINE
If you do not have win2k/XP/Office2000+ you will need the MDAC package so the
program can communicate with the database. If you receive error message boxes
when the program starts and then the program errors and bombs out then you DO
need the MDAC!
Click here (MDAC ~7.8mb upload 31th July 2002
02:45utc) to download mdac.zip
Note: Mdac v2.8 (at least) is available for download on
Microsoft's site, this version is 2.5 but you might find the program
runs better on 2.8. v2.8 is an update for win2k and XP (they use 2.7 which has
some bugs, especially when using ADO and IIS) Win 98 / 2000 users: you might
need to update the MS jet components as the version supplied with the OS is no
good, this is available on
Microsoft's site
or you can d/l the two jet install parts (inside a zip file as of 19 Jan 04)
from here (3mb).
It is also worth looking in windows\system (system32 folder in 2k/XP) folder to
check for a file called msjeto~1.dll, this should be called msjetoledb40.dll
and livemuf cannot run if this file is not correctly named so rename if
necessary (not my error but microsofts hi).

V6_UPDATES
Click here (CALLSIGN DATABASE kb) to download
data_muf.zip, un zip the file and put it in your live muf folder to replace the
call / loc database)
Alternatively you can download the mini update
which contains the last 30 days of updates to calls and locators. This is run
from menu: 'Options' / 'update dx database from mini.mdb'. You need to download
mini.zip and extract mini.mdb into your live muf working folder and then run
the menu item (if the menu item isn't there you will first need to update your
exe with livemufexe.zip).
If you only need the up to date exe then click
here (EXE upload: see below in new features/bugfixes) to download the
zipped exe file, replace the .exe in in your live muf installed directory with
the exe in this zip file (V6).The main package will probably remain the same
now, just check here now and again for an update to the exe :). Also in the zip
is an update of manual(s), place this also in the livemuf install folder and
access it in the program using the F1 key.
Live MUF V6 has finished development now. I am working on
V7 (BETA release). If you want see the latest version please
look at the V7 page. 73 de Dave

PS the best way to work es is ALWAYS to be qrv…..
(Thanks to EA6VQ,
G3NAQ, G4FUF, G0AEV, G0GJV and
SM3GSJ for their help with the maths!)
This has/is involved many many hours of development and we would like Bug
reports or real concerns/ideas etc to my email,
also if you have/are using this can you drop a mail so we can see how many
users and whether it is worth continuing development. If you don't like the
idea of an auto-muf-calc then just remember we have done all of this
sacrificing our time when we could have been making money and you don't have to
download… 73 de Dave
