Heterodyne is a native Mac implementation of a receiver for OpenHPSDR hardware by Jeremy McDermond (NH6Z)

System Requirements

Heterodyne is targeted towards Snow Leopard (MacOS X 10.6) for Intel systems. It will not run on Leopard (10.5) because Heterodyne need of Grand Central Dispatch only present in MacOS X 10.6 and later.

Just double-click the application. Heterodyne has a copy of the Ozy firmware built into the executable and will load Ozy automatically for you. There are no requirements to run initozy or anything. There are no dependencies on other libraries either. Everything you need is in the application you downloaded.

https://www.xenotropic.com/ham-svn/Heterodyne
