ShackBox is an all-in-one CD for amateur radio operators. Shackbox claims to include programs that will allow you to:
- control rigs and scanners,
- design antennas,
- design PCBs,
- etc., etc. etc.
The feature that attracted my attention is that it will run on Macs. Unfortunately, it only runs on the newer Intel Macs, and I only have an old G4 in the shack.

Very nice pointer, thanks! I was impressed that it worked with my Macintosh. I had a problem with the keyboard mapping defaulting to French, but the forums at shackbox.net quickly set me straight. I’m going to be keeping my eye on it for the final version. The version I got was still a little clunky for me, but it appears usable and is definitely a huge step in the right direction for this sort of thing.
Need to get the P2P sharing torrent up and running! NOT found on my favorite P2P download site, The Pirate Bay!
Torrents are a fantastic way to spare the servers, and private individuals!
My favorite HAM distro WAS our club built one, on Puppy Linux, with FLdig, and more…
Downloading Shackbox right now… Then will make a torrent and distribute it!
So how about a update?
