If you want to run something natively on the Mac, I would suggest quisk: http://james.ahlstrom.name/quisk/ I haven't tried it yet myself, but it appears to allow some level of integration with the KX3 by means of hamlib. In order to build it and get it working, you'll need to install some

Hi Graham, The P3 is designed to work with transceivers that bring IF out, such as the K3. The KX3 has I/Q outputs, not IF. Many Windows/MacOS programs, such as HPSDR, provide a panadapter function that samples I/Q from the KX3 using a stereo sound input. I believe this type of setup is what
