Heterodyne (MacOS X)

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 of its use of Grand Central Dispatch.

Downloads

A binary download is available from Jeremy's web site. Just drag the application to your /Application folders to install it.

Running the Program

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.

Source

Source code is available for MacHPSDR from Jeremy's SVN repository at:
