Products to be reviewed typically should be tangible ham radio related items such as radios, antennas, towers, test equipment, feedlines, etc.ĮHam's Product Reviews are intended to provide an opportunity to share an opinion, positive or negative, of a commercially available ham radio-related product or service.Ī valid product review is one where you have experience or knowledge of the product that you would like to share with others. If your new review has not been Approved after several days you can assume that it was found to not be within the product review T's&C's shown below during screening. Before adding a new product use the "Search" tool on reviews Home page to determine if that product already exists in a category.Ĥ. The delay can vary from minutes to a day or more.ģ. The delay is for new review screening and approval. There's a delay before newly submitted reviews are Approved and posted in eHam's reviews.
eHam's Product Reviews are a database of ham radio related products and services personal opinions.Ģ.
#Multimode cocoa serial
I currently run MultiMode on a G4 iBook with OS X 10.4 (Tiger) using a Griffin USB iMic for sound input-output and a Keyspan USB serial adapter for PTT functions.ġ. MultiMode was worth registering to gain the ability to monitor a wide range of modes, but the interface and tuning indicators could be improved.

Black Cat systems produce a number of other ham-related software packages, including the excellent propagation software DX Toolbox.
#Multimode cocoa for mac
Unfortunately for Mac users, MultiMode seems to be the only game in town for a number of modes.
A good, healthy dose of competition from a competing product would probably kill this fee.
I haven't decided whether I will pay for any upgrades yet much will depend upon how the software evolves.
#Multimode cocoa registration
I will be posting a review of that software in the near future.Īs the other reviewer mentioned, registration for MultiMode has an annual renewal fee although the website says that the annual fee is $35. However, for a PSK31 or RTTY QSO, I use cocoaModem every time. So, if you need to decode ALE, GMDSS, or other unusual modes on your Mac, then MultiMode is the only game in town. cocoaModem, in particular, rivels the better Windows packages in performance and ease of use. Both of the free-ware packages DarwinPSK and cocoaModem provide a much better interface with easy access to macros and good layout of the receive and transmit windows. MultiMode seems to be mainly aimed toward short-wave listeners rather than hams who want to carry on an actual QSO or work a contest. The MultiMode PSK31 and Hellschreiber inplementations both decode pretty well but raise another issue: the interface. By contrast, the freeware package cocoaModem is able to easily tune into RTTY and AMTOR signals and produce good to excellent copy depending upon band conditions. Part of these problems stems from the tuning indicator that I find less than wonderful. I find that RTTY, CW, and SITOR to be particularly difficult to decode for this reason. Strong is an important word here because under less than optimal conditions I find that this software often has difficultly locking in and decoding many signals. Some of the modes, like HF FAX and SSTV, work very well and produce nice copy from strong off-the-air signals. The ability to decode CTCSS tones from a repeater or other transmitter is a handy mode that is included. First of all, it must be said that MultiMode does cover an impressive range of digital modes, both old and new (some really new like GMDSS).
