Some may wonder if there are control apps for receivers and ham transceivers that are like the various scanner apps, such as FreeScan or ProScan.
The answer is yes - sort of. I'm in the midst of doing some badly-needed reorganizing (I should have done this sooner, frankly, but my plate was pretty much full until recently...), but I think you will find the list very interesting...

Don't be too surprised at the number of ham-related apps. Those with transceivers usually have general-coverage receivers built in, and there are some packages that take advantage of this. You can't 'scan' on HF as you do above 30 mhz for many reasons, not the least of which is the difficulty of telling the difference between a noise burst and actual data to be interpreted.
And speaking of interpreting 'noise', you should check out this website for digital decoding software...
