The best way to learn about ERGO is to use it.  That's why we provide everyone with a fully-functional demo for sixty days.  The next best way is to see ERGO in action through an introductory video.

Supported Receivers

Key Features

ERGO is integrated software for radio listeners.  It provides fully-integrated receiver control, database and propagation information - all in one package.

ERGO allows you to control either one or two receivers, and link these to station databases and propagation information.  This way, you can scan the bands and the database will show you what you might be hearing, the map will show you where the signals are coming from, and the propagation chart estimates the best times for listening.  Or, you can scan the database and the receiver will follow along.  Or, you can click on the map and check what to expect from propagation conditions from the selected location.  Or, you can listen to a station on one receiver, and check other frequencies with the second receiver.

You can also remotely control a receiver over your local area network, or over the Internet.  To enhance your use of older receivers, ERGO even contains DSP audio filters and noise reduction tools.

If your computer is online, as many are these days, ERGO continuously updates space weather conditions, so that the propagation tools reflect current conditions automatically.  ERGO also updates itself when new features or changes become available.

You can create your own databases, and import/export data from many formats.  Also, we provide customized versions of two popular databases.
