Question:

 
Strays Add a Stray!
Hi Not sure which part of the forum this should go. Two friends, one using a PC the other using a Mac are keen to listen to Amateur/Ham transmissions. Is there a computer based receiving program they can use/download? Of course they can't use the likes of W7DXX. Thanks es 73 Mike ~ G4UPD mikejparks@gmail.com
