CocoaModem and free Mac Amateur Radio Applications
(from a reader mail)

" Kok Chen, W7AY, has provided (imo) some very 'frosty' free programs for Apple computers and one of my favorites is cocoaModem.
Free Mac Amateur Radio Applications and cocoaModem
cocoaModem is a MacOS X application which implements modems
(modulator-demodulators) for some of the Amateur Radio digital modes.
cocoaModem*s name is a reference to the MacOS X Cocoa framework that it uses. cocoaModem supports RTTY (AFSK), PSK31 (both BPSK and QPSK), PSK63, Hellschreiber, a two receiver RTTY interface and a contest interface.

Future plans include MFSK, FSK RTTY, CW, SSTV and support of the SoftRock-40 software defined radio.
