Introduction

This page contains links to some software I've written that may be of interest to other shortwave listeners using Macs.

Cocoa Applications

The applications are standalone in their own right but use Cocoa's interprocess communication mechanism to share data, thereby increasing functionality when more than one app is running. i.e., double clicking a table entry in SWLDataBrowser sends a message to OSX7030 to retune the receiver and a message to SWLMap to display the location of the transmit site. It's intended to develop a suite of compatible programs rather than a single monolithic application. This keeps the source code easier to organise and compile times down. For users, system resources are conserved as only the required components need be run. .

SWLDataBrowser: ...read and display data from ILG, Fineware and HFCC files.
SWLMap: ...a flat earth projection.
OSX7030: ...control an AR7030 comunications receiver with OSX.

Future Plans

Development of the applications is ongoing. Any ideas, comments etc, please let me know. The more response I get regarding a particular application, the more time I'm likely to spend on it.

A logging program is in the pipeline.

Please send any ideas/suggestions to me at the following spambot proof address "jimwatson 'at' mac 'dot' com".
