I've been using MacDoppler Pro for a long time, but never reviewed it here. Simply put, MacDoppler Pro is THE essential program if you have any interest in satellites. MacDoppler Pro proves that superior quality ham radio software is available for the Mac and this is as good or better than anything running on Windows machines. (You don't have to be a ham to use it if your only interest is in monitoring satellites.) The author is very responsive to questions and suggestions and an all-around nice guy. I can't rate this program high enough - five stars doesn't do it justice.

Good work !!! - Version: 1.8.8b2, 8/13/2003 04:51AM PST

This version seems to be more reactive on my Powerbook G4. When you click on the control panel, it is faster than before. Good work !!!
