MacOS App Transceive 1.4 for AllStarLink Released
The following is an update from Georges (WH6AZ) announcing the release of Transceive version 1.4, a MacOS app that brings AllStarLink to Mac users.
This release includes several meaningful improvements, with a focus on long-term stability and hardware support.
Here’s what’s changed:
- New: Universal binary (native support for Apple Silicon and Intel). This is a significant milestone. Native Apple Silicon support improves efficiency while ensuring the app remains stable and maintainable on future macOS versions.
- New: Reorder nodes with simple drag and drop
- New: Add a memo to a node entry
- Fix: DNS lookup issues when nodes use non-standard ports
- Update: Authentication updated for AllStar public access
- Improvement: More reliable node reachability indicators (green/red status updates more consistently, with less need to refresh)
Editor’s Note:
Keep an eye out for WH6AZ’s upcoming app, Radio Messenger, which aims to bring a modern messaging feel to amateur Radio.
The approach here is pragmatic. RF delivery is always the priority, but internet delivery can serve as a fallback. If a message doesn’t get through, it can be held briefly and delivered later via push notifications.
The goal isn’t to replace radio with the internet, just to make the experience less brittle.
