You can download this Beacon Prediction Wizard which will sync the time on
your PC and display/identify the beacons on a nice map (which includes the
greyline),
http://www.taborsoft.com/bpw/ which will also save you about $100!
Someone has even written a piece of software that will connect the PC's
sound card to a TS850, read the 'S' reading of the beacon signal and display
a real-time propagation chart of some kind. I haven't tried it though.
