Nec2Go Product Features

Input fields are marked in blue as a hint that they can be modified. Nec2Go only requires the VB6 runtime Dll(MSVBVM60.dll). If this is not on your system, link to the Microsoft web site and search the downloads for this file and install on your system.

Help Information:  Moving the cursor over any field or label will produce a short help pop-up window description. Pressing F1 will present Context Sensitive Help. However, If you are new to Nec modeling, please read the 'Beginners Tutorial' entry in the Help file. This will explain some of the terminology and assist with understanding the internals of Nec processing. Please use the Help file when in doubt.

• Minimum number of screens required during process. Main, Edit, View, 2d-plot, and 3d-plot screens plus Tools and Help.
• Run output, SWR, Gain and Sweep results on Main screen.
• Text input for all antenna models using algebraic statements.
