DESCRIPTION
AirRadar... Scanning for wireless networks is now easier and more personalized! AirRadar allows you to scan for open networks and tag them as favourites or filter them out. View detailed network information, graph network signal strength, and automatically join the best open network in range.

Whether you are driving around looking for wireless networks, stuck in traffic, sitting on the beach, or if you are curious how strong your wireless signal is at home, AirRadar provides a more linear approach to network hunting. Setup a scan frequency, and have new open or closed networks have their name spoken, play alerts, or display notifications.

Various other options allow you to customize your network list further, including assigning colors to best open networks and sound cues. The best part - AirRadar is absolutely free! Download it today, and take the hardship out of getting an internet connection at a critical time.

MISHA  If it would display the encryption type in the list (like others do), then I'd give this 5 stars... until it does, I will have to keep using another utility alongside this to give me that information when needed.

SMOKEONIT  i get this error message: http://img.skitch.com/20080609-xtfr74isq6q8akqxkaw1839s7a.jpg

i run airport via my mbp and the broadcom 4321 802.11n card... (mac pro upgrade kit)

also i'd like to see GPS integration

since istumbler is not getting regular updates and kismac is pretty useless since they moved to switzerland and their database for GPS/wifi is offline...

i hope these guys develops a kick ass stumbler than can do GPS/wardriving and all the other things we want to be able to do on our mac...

KOINGO R  Hi,

Are you running another wireless app like Wifind at the same time? This may cause incompatibility.

DESIGN-Q  Very good potential esp. if this is kept as a donation-ware. Among its feature, it can connect automatically to an open network (with option to only connect if quality/strength is past user-defined level and/or if not already connected), growl support, MAC address capture, favourites and past history with graphs.

Very easy to use, well, even if it only scans at a regular interval (can only do this when the main appl. is running though). In short, a good addition to other appl/widget you might already have on your portables.
