Welcome to Marmot Land

Before you get too engrossed in exploring this site we would like to point out that Marmots, especially Italian ones, have a very diverse interest in entertainment and business. Because of this you can expect anything to appear here.

You can skip reading this page buy clicking a major subject link above but for your first visit here I would encourage you to read a little further so you get a better idea about me, what I'm interested in and where I can possibly help you. About Me is also worth checking out.

First and foremost I support Marmotta PhotoArt. This is the photographic business and website of the chief Marmot, Krys Bailey. You will find Krys's work in the wild and she has sold images to many respected businesses and private individuals worldwide. Biography and Business Clients.

If nothing else (go on buy something) please take a moment to at least look at her work. You never know the diverse collection of images may include a favorite or planned holiday location or identify animals you have seen but weren't sure what they were. From Flora to Fauna, Landscape to Seascape or just plain old Transport images there will be something pleasing for just about everyone.

Supporting the DEBRA Charity through Free Software. Please DONATE if you like my software.

WHY CHOOSE MY SOFTWARE

Simply because my software is free and supports charity which I truly hope you will. I provide support at weekends (when I'm home), I innovated often long before others and I listen to my users. I also provide new function requests where I am able to which is also why the likes of Scan125 is so loved and used by so many users around the world. See Scan125 Users

It is true that some of my data editing features are a little "clumsy" (as touted by a commerical developer) but I've always acknowledge this fact to users long before the commercial developer mentioned it. What I don't do is make false claims like:

Only xxxyyyzz supports the Uniden BC125AT,UBC125XLT, AE125H and UBC126 receiver in one single software package!

Scan125 has supported all these scanners in a single package.

Others are trying to catch up with the addition of "virtual control" and "virtual bank names" to their products but Scan125 has supported all of this since 2013/2014.

Love or hate any aspects of my software then just please let me know and I'll do my level best make them even better.

HF150 Control Program (for the Lowe HF-150 Receiver)

Version 1.1.0.0 now available - 12 April 2012
This is a program to control the fantastic Lowe HF-150 Receiver.

Originally written by me for my personal use in 2009 I have since turned it into a currently Freeware program that I hope will find an appreciative audience.

If you have a Lowe HF-150 Receiver, or any other interface compatible Lowe/other make of receiver then you might like to visit my HF150 Control Program page.

Hardware

IF150 USB-Serial Interface Hardware (replacement for Lowe IF-150 Interface)

This is a suggested design for a USB 2.0 to Lowe HF-150 receiver serial interface. Unlike the original, and now very rare Lowe IF-150 interface, this suggested interface design is a native USB interface not requiring any USB to Serial converter hardware. In addition there is no additional Window's driver software required to be installed on your PC. A simple .INF file will take care of everything. Both Windows and Linux operating systems are supported.

The suggested hardware design includes opto-isolation providing total electrical and conductive noise isolation, thus ensuring no noise/interference is injected into your receiver via the interface.

If you are interested in this suggested interface design then more information can be found here: IF150 Interface

As with any project customer interest is paramount.

Meanwhile, if you have a Lowe HF-150 Receiver, or any other interface compatible Lowe/other make of receiver then you might like to visit my HF150 Control Program page.

Fiat Cars

For those that know us we are very loyal and dedicated Fiat car owners since 1973. I'll be adding relevant content over time but for now you'll have to be content with knowing that we currently own a Fiat Stada Abarth 130TC (1988), Fiat Bachetta (2005) and a Fiat 500X (2015).

If you have a Strada 105TC or 130TC then you definitely want to visit the Strada Abarth page.

Here you will find informative technical information.

Finally (at least for now)

I hope you find something of interest on my website. If not I apologise but hopefully you will enjoy Marmotta PhotoArt.
