Software / Shortwave Broadcast Schedules Beta 0.0.2b2
« on: December 14, 2013, 2137 UTC »
New update to the app:
Shortwave Broadcast Schedules helps the SWL find shortwave broadcasts to listen to, as well as identify the station that is tuned in. You can double click on an entry to tune your radio to that frequency. You can also manually tune your radio, and the list of possible broadcasts will scroll along with the frequency, helping you identify the station.
It is available for Windows, Mac OS X, as well as linux.
New to this version:
You can download the latest EIBI CSV schedule file from http://www.eibispace.de/ the direct download URL for the current latest version is: http://www.eibispace.de/dx/sked-b13.csv
Rename it to sked.csv.txt
And place it in the same directory as the application. The app will look for it at launch. If it finds it, it will use that file in place of the schedule that comes with the app. When it finds the file, it will display a message indicating that, so you can verify it was read.
If you'd like to try it out, you can download a copy using the following links:
