Setting up ALE^Stat to work with PCALE

ALE^Stat is a great tool that can monitor PC-ALE / MARS-ALES activity and will post events (ie "soundings" received) upto HFLink or relevant web portal.

Head over the PC ALE Support Site and download the latest version of "ALE^Stat".   Install was easy and the documentation and configuration is fairly straight forward.

What had me initially stumped, was where was the "telnet" config option under PC-ALE ?  Well I found it but for some reason its not document under the "PC-ALE User Manual" or even ALE^Stat documentation.

Open  PC-ALE and under "Configuration->SWALE"  put in your PC IP and port number (63023) and check the "Interace Enabled".  If "ALE^Stat" was running you will see that it will "connection".  Then any activity decoded my PCALE will be reported to HFLink assuming you have enabled HFLink Reporting and entered you HFLink details correctly.

Load the same QRG file you have used for PCALE under ALE^Stats "frequency" menu.  Then ensure you have ticked the frequency under HFLink column that you wish to report / upload events to HFLink.

Not much more to say here! Have fun
