    Looks like a neat program.

    As notluf said below, I was interested in hooking a similar device up to my shorwave when I was younger. They had a project in "Popular Electronics" or "Radio Electronics" magazine, that used Led digital readouts. I never got around to building it though. I used to hear these signals buzzing on the shortwave bands.

    I have not personally tested this software. I do have to say the concept is cool though. Years ago my dad and I built a hardware version of this to interface with my Atari 800. It used the audio output of a shortwave receiver and converted the sound into a picture directly from the satellite. A program in BASIC converted the image.

    What bothers me is that 15 years ago someone did this using BASIC and someone today is charging money for the samething, probably using Visual Basic. Again, I did not actually install/review this software (thus the 5 star rating) but the protocol has been around for years. There are freeware variants of this if one looks hard enough in the Amateur Radio archives of the Internet.

    Cool concept though!
