MultiMode is an application which allows your Macintosh to decode and 
transmit several different modes of non-voice communication often 
heard on shortwave and ham radio. It is the only program of its kind 
for the Macintosh,rivaling commercial packages for the PC platform 
costing hundreds of dollars. It is ideal for amateur radio operators, 
shortwave radio listeners, and other radio enthusiasts.

MultiMode allows you to decode and display morse code, RTTY, FAX, 
SSTV, ACARS, PSK31, and many other modes on your Mac, without any 
extra hardware. MultiMode now also allows you to transmit in most of 
the modes of operation. A lite version is also available which 
decodes CW, RTTY, and weather fax modes, which is ideal for the 
sailor and boating enthusiast
.
In the past, dedicated hardware, often costing hundreds or thousands 
of dollars, was necessary to demodulate and decode these 
transmissions. Today, you can use the processing power of your 
Macintosh to decode and display these modes, without any hardware. 
Just connect your radio's speaker output to your Mac's microphone 
input, and you're ready to go.

MultiMode supports the following modes:

        Morse Code (CW)
        QRSS (Slow speed CW)
        WEATHER / SATELLITE FAX
        RTTY (Baudot and ASCII)
