In my experience it runs perfectly and is a joy to | use. There is only one difference between using Apple Silicon and any other | Mac. | My setup is: | KX3 | Base configuration M1 Macbook | Apple thunderbolt to USB cable | Standard Elecraft USB cable for the KX3 | Sabrent Sound Card dongle | Anker self powered USB hub | WSJT-X 2.2.2 for the Mac as downloaded from the WSJT website. | The only unusual requirement is that the instructions for changing the memory | size given in the software instructions will not work for M1 Macs. Instead you | use the following commands in the terminal: | sudo sysctl -w kern.sysv.shmmax=104857600 | sudo sysctl -w kern.sysv.shmall=25600 | The command | sysctl -a | grep sysv.shm | will verify that the change is made. At the moment the above must be done on | each reboot. | That's it, otherwise it works just as it does on an Intel Mac. I have my serial | port set for 38,400 baud, 8,2,none and am running full CAT control with rig | split enabled. | It appears as of today, January 7, that the Fldigi folks are still working on a | version that will work on Apple Silicon. In my testing the latest standard Mac | version would not load. | ------------------------------ | Message: 2 | Date: Thu, 7 Jan 2021 19:43:51 -0700 | From: <eda...@aya.yale.edu> | To: <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> | Subject: [Elecraft] KE7X Website | Message-ID: <002d01d6e568$19a2fdc0$4ce8f940$@aya.yale.edu> | Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" | Courtesy of Vic DiCiccio, VE3YT, I have the contact information for a | representative of Fred's family.

You could go through the right side panel depending | on how you locate the oscillator with respect to the transverter. | 73, | Don W3FPR | On 1/11/2021 5:10 PM, Martin wrote: | > Elecrafters, | > i have a GPS-controlled LO 116MHz i would like to feed to the XV144 2m | > external Transverter.
