WHAT IS A GOOD SITE TO LOCATE MAC RELATED APPLICATIONS?

[W6PJJ]

Where is a good WWW Site that has Apple Mac Applications for Amateur Radio? Been browsing for Antenna Design Applications in particular. So far it looks like there is little out there on the Internet. ??

Hello Steve:

Interesting how we meet on Forums and have yet to make a on-the-air contact. By the way we are very close to getting the Mac interfaced to the Ten-Tec Paragon the only issue left is utilizing the Mac USB with a Serial interface and we will be up and running soon. We just found a USB to DB9 converter with the PL-2303 Chipset on Ebay and will be interfacing this to the PTT Optocoupler. We should be up and running in less than 10 days. Thanks for the information you have provided over the past 3 weeks and that which you have left here. I signed up on Mac Ham Radio nearly 2 weeks ago... the Site has a very small membership so far and I have posted there but no response yet. Oh!! Black Cat has a RF Toolbox for the Mac very basic stuff but sorta fun to play with. I miss the old DL6WU Yagi design application I used 20 years ago to design and build Yagis for 144, 222 & 432 they were outstanding performers and the Hams that have them are very pleased.  I will give the DXZone a run for the money. TNX AGN.

Hey Don,

           Not a problem. Let me know as soon as you think you are ready.
80m should work for us in the PM probably after 7pm. Talk with you later.
