Hi All,

I just uploaded a new beta release of xnec2c, a graphical
(GUI) application which incorporates nec2c, my translation
to C of NEC2, into an interactive antenna analysis and
visualization tool. xnec2c does not need and does not
produce a NEC2 output file (unless requested) to visualize
results like radiation patterns or frequency-dependent data.
Instead, results produced by the incorporated NEC2 engine
are stored in buffers and presented in graphical form as they
are produced in the frequency loop (watch the max gain and
VSWR plots grow before your eyes! ;-) ). All frequency
dependent parameters that are displayed (including radiation
patterns) can be re-calculated for a new frequency by either
clicking on the graph of frequency-dependent data or entering
the frequency in a spin-button widget.

xnec2c now incorporates a basic NEC2 input file Editor that
simplifies the creation and editing of NEC2 input files and
speeds up the edit/save/reload cycle. This editor also hides
most of the awkward details of the NEC2 input file and so
reduces the need for detailed knowledge of this file's format.

This is a fresh beta release of xnec2c and likely to have
some bugs/annoyances but it was hard for me to code since I
am under heavy pressure from illness in the family. However
I will try to find time to fix new bugs, hoping xnec2c will
become a useful graphical NEC2 derivative for Linux users.

Look for xnec2c (and other ham radio apps) in my website:

Hi,

I am not sure if I should call you Matt

Can you tell me if this will compile easily with OS X (10.4)?

thanks

No! my name is Neoklis ("Nick" on the air, if I ever get the
chance to operate ;-). Matt owns the network and kindly gave
me space gratis :-)

I can't say for sure, its not a big download so give it a try. I am
trying to install OpenBSD which is related to OS X but cannot
boot the install disk for some reason.

Best regards and good luck!
