MultiMode Version 1.5.4   January 22, 1999

Introduction

MultiMode allows you to decode several digital modes on your Mac. Best of all, MultiMode is shareware!  Please read the chapter on Registering to discover how you can register your copy, and help support software for the Macintosh.

I am now releasing MultiMode as a “FAT” application that runs on both PPC and 68K systems.  Slower 68K systems will not be able to run MultiMode, a 25 MHz 68040 should be considered the minimum configuration. Please note that effective with version 1.1.1, a FPU is now required on 680x0 systems. 

I've done all testing on a PowerComputing PowerCenter Pro 180 (604e). I'm anxious to hear how MultiMode performs on other machines.

Why did I write it? I've always been disgusted with the lack of decent ham/radio software for the Mac. Why should the wintel boys have all the fun? I've written several other Mac radio related programs in the past (check my web page for details), and have often had requests for a CW/RTTY/FAX/etc. decoder for the Mac.

Eventually I'd like to add full support for other modes (SSTV, etc.). That's where you come in (more details about that later on). 

The user interface has undergone massive changes since the previous version (I hope for the better!). Menu selections are gone now, a small window just under the menu bar contains small buttons to select the various modes and settings. This window (called the Signal Window) also displays the received signal, to help with tuning your radio.
