Wunder, Unfortunately that I code is in a completely different language/environment to that I know and use so I personally could not help. However it is surprising that code supports so many manufacturers -apart- from Elecraft, but I suppose again it is down to the numbers, like the ratio of

From a programming perspective If I were write a program it would be for Windows. You write for the largest market. Years ago (in the DOS days) I considered getting Mac for my mother since it was easier to use.Once windows came along (and it became stable) the choice changed to going to

I have half a mind (only half) to write a memory management program for the KX3 and K3 for Mac. My motivation is to do something new in Swift. Although I have MacLoggerDX, I don't use it anymore since I found it much nicer to use my own software that I write for the Mac. I have several

I agree, there is a gap in the market for a Macintosh memory manager for the KX3/K3. Perhaps Don Agro the author of MacLoggerDX at Dog Park Software may consider adding it to his excellent free MacMemoriesManager program, though I note he has discontinued it, so probably not unfortunately.

Rick, Re I am of the opinion that the ability to run virtual machines (Parallels, Fusion, etc) on the Mac wound up costing us a lot of good Ham software. Too often the answer given for running ham software on the Mac is to run it under Parallels, etc. If that option wasn't there I bet more

Joshua, The native KX3 (no computer required) has 100 memories. See page 17 of the owner's manual for further information. This is not really a save and restore on the fly memory, but can almost be used as such. Tunr to the frequency desired and them hold STORE, then rotate the VFO A knob
