Subject: Macintosh Amateur Radio Software - March 1994
Version 1.06

Please feel free to distribute this list as widely as possible. Many
of you have asked if it is OK to cross-post this list? I don't mind,
but I would like to know where it is going. If you think it should
be cross-posted to other USENET groups, please let me know so I can
try and manage these. We don't want to have any duplication or our
welcome will be wore out! I will also try and honor individual
requests for this list... but I do not always catch all of the
newsgroups postings... so please DO NOT reply/ask there! If I am a
little slow in getting the list back to you... hang in there!

Those of you that can tell me about ANY of these programs
compatibility with System 7 would be appreciated! I am going to be
adding a System 7 compatability section to EACH description in
future releases. If the application is KNOWN to execute properly
under System 7, the System 7 anotation will be placed as the last
line of the product description. More clarification on levels of
System 7 compatibility in the future editions... but this is a
start!

Some of the information in this list was gleaned from flyers
supplied by the software vendors, or in some cases from reviews in
amateur radio publications or the README files included with the
archive. Some of the information has not been verified for a long
time; please check with the vendors/authors for the latest product
specs, pricing, etc.

NEW/CHANGES: A new group has been added... that of WEFAX. Although
some of the software currently available supports this mode, RadFax
is the first to be listed as the only function of receiving waether
facsimille.

I've started adding more version numbers so that our users will know
if they have the most current release. Thanks to those that have
already sent them in... I'll accept all corrections!

This list contains info on updated for several applications: updated
information on Kantronic's Host Master(thanks John-WD1V) and Lar's
newest release of Morse Trainer 1.1.1. Ivo-ON1XK and Adam-PA2AGA
both contnue to be busy with new releases of IM/Mac and NET/Mac
repsectively. I know that Adam made changes to support the multiport
serial boards... and now we can have up to 16 TNCs connected!

Thanks Adam, Ivo and Lars for some great products!

A reminder that The World  Software Tool and Dye, is one of the
newest site carrying the Mac Ham Radio Software. Scott-WY1Z is
maintaining these file as the Librarian of the Boston Amateur Radio
Club. Look in the following path at ftp.std.com:  /pub/hamradio/mac.

 PacketTracker ver 1.05 is a program that monitors packet activity
and keeps track of what is going on. It draws a graphical map
showing who is talking to who and displays statistics of all current
stations and keeps a running tally of activity.  PacketTracker was
written for both the casual packet user and the network manager or
BBS operator. The casual packet user will be able to learn a great
deal about what is happening in packet around him; which stations
are generating the most data and what some of them are. he will be
able to see graphically what stations he can hitdirectly and which
ones he cannot.  For the network manager and BBS operator,
PacketTracker provides extensive insight to the operation of the
local network and problems such as excessive retries on a path. It
also allows for extensive logging of channel utilization and other
pertinate information.

OK, pals.

Here's a list of Ham related Mac software. The files are in a .HQX format,
so just thorw me some mail and I'll send you the files you want.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
DX Map 1.1

The following is from a help field that can be accessed from within the stack.
This stack requires the version of Hypercard to be 2.0 or greater.

This stack enables amateur radio operators to find the location, bearing, and
other information for the 'DXCC' countries of the world. It also displays the
day and night portions of the globe dynamically.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MacDOVE

MacDOVE is a simple FORTRAN program for decoding or converting recorded DOVE
telemetry packets into engineering units on a Macintosh 512K, Plus, SE, SE/30,
or II-series computer.  Note that MacDOVE does not decode packets directly
from a TNC but from a file of packets previously recorded.  Both the
source code and the application are available from the address below.
The present version of MacDOVE does not use any of the special
window/menu/mouse features of the Mac
and so the source code should be compatible with other machines.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MorseTrainer US-1.0.1b20

MorseTrainer is a program for learning and training Morse code. This is the
first translated version of the program which originally was developed and
localized for Sweden. The program itself can be considered a final version
of v1.0.1 but the translation is probably not perfect, hence a beta-release
instead of final-release.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SunClock

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
PacketTracker

For the network manager and BBS operator, PacketTracker  provides extensive
insight to the operation of the local network and the problems such as
excessive retries on a path.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPARKS-II

        Morse trainer type.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
WORLDTIME.sea

1)  It tells you what time it is in other cities, taking into account
        Daylight Saving Time/Summer Time.
2)  It automatically resets your computer's clock at the beginning and end
        of Daylight Saving Time/Summer Time.
3)  It allows you to change the location of your computer as it is stored
        in your computer's memory and reset the clock appropriately.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MORSE CODE TUTOR
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Morse Mania

        This program was written as a practice program for people already
        familiar with the International Morse Code. It allows the user to
        practice copying Morse code at various speeds and at different audio
        pitches.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MorseMaster

        This program can read any TEXT file, but the interval of carriage
        returns should be less than 256 characters to send correctly. You can
        open large file, but normally the latter part is truncated
        (If it is too large, an alert box appears).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grid

    This Macintosh program (MacBinary format) converts between coordinates
        (longitude, latitude in degress, minutes, seconds) and the grid square
    locator used by radio amateurs, and vice versa. The old European QTH
        locator system is supported. The distance and heading between two points
        on earth can be calculated. The program will automatically recognize the
    coordinate system used: longitude/latitude, worldwide grid square locator
        or European QTH locator.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
        OrbiTrack 2.1b14
        Satellite Tracking Program
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

: available via FTP?

I don't know about it being available via FTP, but there are a couple of
sources.  One is a commercial product, which I believe is called "MAC
HAM".  If I remember correctly, it had a list price of around $39.00

Secondly, there is the following information which I have downloaded from
the packet radio network:

                 FREE - NEW Macintosh HAM TEST SIMULATORS

Studying for a ham test and have access to an Mac? Upgrade Fast - Simulate
and get STIMULATED!

Send WD1V a *FORMATTED* Mac diskette and you'll get back 5
(1 per license class) HyperCard stacks that simulate the tests.
Scores of 90% or greater even get applause! Novice and Tech tests are
from latest test pools <June/93>.

NEW! Also included are STUDY TECHNIQUES: Notes From The Video Seminar
Where Theres A Will Theres An A By Dr. Claude Olney.

Also included is a  MORSE program, complete with practice QSO files
for drill + a special collection of ideas of how to learn CW that has been
gathered from all over via packet.

Include a Self Addressed and Stamped Disk mailer and send it to:

           John/WD1V, 144 Pepperidge Drive, Manchester, NH 03103

These HyperCard stacks were designed and written by Diana, KC1SP and have
proven useful to hundreds of hams on the upgrade path. Each stack is public
domain, free of any charges, and make a great gift of encouragement.
