Many Hams love to spend hours building circuits or antennas. However, few will admit that their circuits fail because of simple calculation errors. Prepare to get rid of those annoying mistakes by using HAMIC, the Ham Intelligent Calculator.
HAMIC is a powerful, yet easy-to-use calculator that can solve simple resistor/capacitor/inductance/impedance circuits in series or parallel, or more complex L, Pi, or T network circuits. HAMIC works well as a design tool and can perform SWR and reactance conversions.

The program's interface consists of a graphical circuit. Select the calculation type (i.e. resistor, capacitor, inductor, or impedance), enter two variables, and HAMIC will solve for the remaining variable. With a click of the mouse, the display is changed from series to parallel. As well, HAMIC can work with advanced network circuits. The program calculates impedance for two types of L-networks and both Pi and T networks (HAMIC can solve L-networks for two variables and thus can be used to design Omega matching networks for antennas).
Results are displayed in the proper units (i.e. Ohms, Henrys, Farads, or Hertz) and can be converted to different orders of magnitude (i.e. mega, milli, kilo, micro, or pico) with the click of a button. Other features include specifying the output precision/significant digits and saving your work to a worksheet for retrieval later.
