Product Description:

Scanning for wireless networks is now easier and more personalized! AirRadar allows you to scan for open networks and tag them as favourites or filter them out. View detailed network information, graph network signal strength, and automatically join the best open network in range. Whether you are driving around looking for wireless networks, stuck in traffic, sitting on the beach, or if you are curious how strong your wireless signal is at home, AirRadar provides a more linear approach to network hunting. Setup a scan frequency, and have new open or closed networks have their name spoken, play alerts, or display notifications. Various other options allow you to customize your network list further, including assigning colors to best open networks and sound cues. The best part - AirRadar is absolutely free! Download it today, and take the hardship out of getting an internet connection at a critical time.

What's new in this version:

It was only a few months ago that this software was freeware, and then ten bucks, and now twenty bucks. What happened to the deflation we keep hearing about?

The .bz2 extension bug -> The cure - Version: 1.2.1, 8/23/2009 11:31AM PST

Every time I download this version of AirRadar in my browser of choice, OmniWeb, the .dmg file shows up at my end with an extra extension on the end: .bz2.

If you try to expand/unarchive the file, what you get is a messed up file that will not work.

The cure: Simply remove the .bz2 extenstion and OK the change in MOSX. The result is a correctly named and functional .dmg file.

I have notified Koingo and OmniGroup. I have never seen this phenomenon before in any browser. Omniweb does not create this problem anywhere else. Safari downloads the .dmg file perfectly fine. I have not tested other browsers. Both Safari and OmniWeb use WebKit, different versions.
