"You've provided a great way to monitor solar activity, and an even better
incentive to learn what it all means!"
Howard, W6HN
"The new program works really well. I have not noticed any problems.
The updates look accurate. It's interesting to look at the past conditions
and try to correlate that to band conditions."
Mike, NR5O
"Very nice program. I can find no flaws and use it constantly.
Sometimes its predictive accuracy is a little scary. I was on 20M,
received a storm alert and within seconds the band died."
Joe, N6FPJ

Features
IonoProbe is a 32-bit Windows application that lives
in the System Tray and monitors the space weather parameters
essential for HF radio. The list of parameters includes SSN/SFI,
Ap/Kp, X-ray/Proton flux, and Auroral activity. IonoProbe
downloads near-real time satellite and ground station data,
stores information for future use and displays it
in a user-friendly way.
Time-critical parameters, such as X-ray flux, proton flux and
auroral index, are updated every 15 minutes. An alarm can be
set up to notify you of a storm within a few minutes after its start.
