Product Description:

Aether is a ham radio logging application for Mac OS X. Aether includes tools to quickly and easily log QSOs while on the air, as well as organize, search and track your QSOs later. Aether was designed for Mac OS X, and has the same kind of clean, intuitive, friendly interface you've come to expect on the Mac

Features:

Instant search
Automatic callbook lookup, including QRZ.com subscriber support
Automatic distance and beam heading display
ADIF and Cabrillo import and export
Address and QSL label printing
AppleScript Support
Mail, Address Book and Spotlight integration
Rig control via RS-232
Automatic dupe checking/QSO history

What's new in this version:

Aether DB is now used as the default file format when importing more than 200 QSOs from an ADIF or Cabrillo file.
The Google Maps button and menu item are now available even when the current QSO doesn't have latitude and longitude filled in, as long as some part of the address is filled in.
"Document has been moved" alert no longer appears when importing an ADIF or Cabrillo file under Snow Leopard.
Improved QRZ.com subscriber settings and login interface.
Fixed a bug that caused several links in the built in help to be broken under Snow Leopard and later versions of Leopard.
Fixed a bug that could cause Cabrillo import to fail in very rare cases.
When importing an ADIF file in which time_off is used to specify QSO times, Aether properly reads this field. If both time_on and time_off fields are specified for a QSO, time_off is used.
Fixed a problem that caused some help pages to fail to display when Aether is running under OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
Support for many new QSO parties.
Sent serial numbers are no longer automatically generated when exporting Cabrillo files for ARRL Sweepstakes. Behavior is now the same as for other contests including a serial number, that is Aether simply uses the serial number included in the TX Exchange for each QSO.
Cabrillo export for ARRL Sweepstakes no longer fails if TX exchange is missing or malformed in any QSOs in a log.
All contest info fields are filled in when importing a Cabrillo file. Multi-line Soapbox fields are also correctly imported now.
The QSL info/mailing label feature can now be used in the Italian localization of Aether, though the text in the interface still needs to be translated into Italian.
Callsigns with an HB9 prefix are now correctly identified as being from Switzerland.
Other miscellaneous minor bug fixes.
