Help-Weather Fax Software with Sony ssb receiver ICF SW7600gr

[tejeda]

I have just purchases a Sony SW receiver (ICF-SW7600GR) with the intention of downloading weather fax information to a laptop &/or ipad whichever is better.
Can anyone suggest good software which I could use to download weather fax data - preferable shareware? and what wires do I need to connect from the Sony to the Ipad. I am electronic challenged.

dnamron41,
Since you mentioned that you're "electronically challenged", may I suggest that you spend some time learning how all of this works, first!!

But, until then....here are the answers you asked for:

I prefer JVComm32, or Getfax....
JVComm32 - FAX SSTV RTTY SYNOP NAVTEX program

Airmail weather fax
