K9IVB Software for the Silicon Labs Si570 in VB6 and Excel-VBA
VBA programs [Macros] in all Excel versions require a change to the
security settings,
for more detailed explanation see Dan Maguire's [AC6LA]
website for a complete discussion.
The Excel programs [written in Office
97 & work in all later versions] also require all of the Math Add-Ins
Initial
group of Programs and Source to calculate register values for the Si570

[more info in
zip file for this and the two following programs VB6 exe works in Win95 and
later versions]
Ham Band Data for Si570, 160M - 6M - most at 20kHz intervals - 132KB
A calculator for new frequencies in the Xtall V2.4p, V2.4 and V2.1 software.
