Re: [Elecraft] KX3 digital ops, MacOS
I use RUMlogNG (free from the app store) for general and contest logging. It will also use CAT commands to transmit and receive in it's contest mode. For general digital use, fldigi and wsjt-x are probably the best at the moment. There used to be cocoaModem, which was generally better than fldigi, but it does not run on the latest MacOS release (32 bit vs. 64 bit issues). All of these are free downloads. Others like MacLoggerDX for general logging, which I haven't used and SkookumLogger for a contest logger. MacLoggerDX is $95, SkookumLogger is free. 73 Bill AE6JV On 5/5/20 at 6:24 AM, [email protected] (David Andrews) wrote: Bill, thanks for your recent discussion on digital ops.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 digital ops, MacOS
I’m not a fan of FLdigi and I much prefer Digital Master 780 for longer QSOs on PSK and the like, so my solution is to run Windows native via a bootable partition on the Mac. This works flawlessly. It is done through Boot Camp — a utility that comes with the Mac OS.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 digital ops, MacOS
Hello Dave -- That will depend largely on the modes you wish to use. WSJT-X for the "JT Modes" (FT8, FT4, etc) is fully portable and available on MacOS ( https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/wsjtx.html). This will get you started on the current popular modes. fldigi is another popular program, I have used it on my Mac for RTTY during the BARTG Sprint, it isn't the greatest for contesting but does work for casual contesting. It can do RTTY and PSK and a bunch of other digital modes that I have never tried ( http://www.w1hkj.com/). The KX2 Utility also runs on MacOS ( https://elecraft.com/pages/kx2-fully-portable-transceiver-firmware-and-utility) You can use this utility to receive and send RTTY if you wanted to. These are some starting points, hope this helps! 73 de KJ5T On Tue, May 5, 2020 at 5:25 AM David Andrews via Elecraft < [email protected]> wrote: > Bill, thanks for your recent discussion on digital ops.
