Propagation Command Center Walkthrough

This is the walkthrough for the separate KE8OHV Ultimate Propagation Command Center bonus program. It is not the main TUCC product walkthrough. This page shows the bonus propagation tool screens: live space weather, HF operating guidance, path planning, radio setup, CAT testing, reports, and all-ham brand/model support.

Live

NOAA and HamQSL propagation feeds with refresh status, fallback guidance, and saved reports.

All Hams

Radio brand and model-family dropdowns for Kenwood, Icom, Yaesu, Elecraft, FlexRadio, and bridge workflows.

Bonus

Included free as a bonus link when TUCC software is activated.

Built-In Propagation Walkthrough Screens

These are the areas explained by the propagation program walkthrough.

1. Propagation Dashboard

Solar FluxSFI
Kp IndexLive
HF conditions, refresh status, and operating notes.

The opening dashboard brings current propagation values and practical ham guidance into one screen.

2. Band Forecast

80m / 40mNight
20m / 17mDay
Band-by-band suggestions for checking openings.

Band guidance helps operators decide where to listen or call CQ before wasting time on a dead band.

3. Path Planner

From your QTH to target area
Heading
Best band window

The path planner gives a simple operating view for planning contacts by time, band, and target direction.

4. NOAA Space Weather

X-Ray
Geomagnetic
Aurora
Storm Scale

Space weather values are grouped so a ham can understand what may be hurting or helping HF conditions.

5. Greyline And World Clocks

UTC / Zulu
Local
Greyline timing for better DX awareness.

Clock and greyline information help operators think in UTC and watch for sunrise/sunset openings.

6. Beacon Checklist

Check WWV, NCDXF, DX cluster, nets, and known signals.
Heard
Not Heard

Beacon checks turn propagation into something the operator can verify by listening.

7. Reports And Alerts

Save propagation report
Refresh feed log and status messages
Copy notes for nets or club reports

Reports let the operator save what was checked, when it was checked, and what the program found.

8. Radio Brand And Model Setup

BrandKenwood
ModelTS-2000
Also supports Icom, Yaesu, Elecraft, FlexRadio, and bridge tools.

The dropdowns make the tool useful for many hams, not just one radio room.

9. CAT Status And Testing

COM Port
Read Frequency
Connection status and raw response notes help with support.

CAT testing helps confirm whether Windows, the cable, the COM port, and the radio are answering correctly.
