[Scan-DC] For the Macintosh users

[Robert W. Fisher]

I tried a demo of multimode quite awhile back, taking the audio from my Sony Wavehawk into my Mac G3's audio input.  I found audio level to be critical to getting a good decode...and after some trial and error, was even able to receive weather FAX through a Grundig YB400PE.  

Now if Chris would only write some software to drive my PCR1000......:)

Amazing what RTFM will do to help.  I especially like this quote, 
which certainly applies to me:

"We  have found the many users have great difficulty using MultiMode 
if they just dive right in, and  don't learn how to properly tune 
their radios, set audio levels, etc. Please do not install 
MultiMode, connector your radio, turn it on for the first time, and 
expect to be decoding SSTV or  PSK31 in 5 minutes. It is not going to 
happen. "

I'd encourage people to try this out and let Chris (the author and 
member of this list) know how it works for them.  He's been amazingly 
helpful with me this morning.  It's really a neat program (as is some 
of his other stuff like Audiocoder).
