KX3 SDR MAC

I am looking for recommendations on a good SDR application that will run
under Mac OSX. I also have parallels installed with a windows VM, but
don't want anything that runs under windows..

What are you Mac users using?.. Fred

Re: KX3 SDR MAC

Fred, what is your goal? The KX3 does not require any SDR software. Panadapter, try iSDR on the iPad. If you have a PigRemote it will even display the KX3's frequency. It connects to the I/Q jacks.

Fill us in what functions you are looking for.

Re: KX3 SDR MAC

Fred, If you have the PigRemote it will serve as the RS-232 connection from iSdr to the KX3. If you do not then then just set the frequency on iSdr to 0 (zero) kHz and the frequency you are tuned to will be at center screen and other signals will be displayed as plus or minus kHz. It works quite well… very well actually.

I use an Apple camera adapter (lightning to usb) with a Griffin iMic to connect from the I/Q jack on the KX3 to the iPad. It works just as well on the iPhone with a smaller display.

If you want other stuff like CAT, Log, LOTW support, DX-Cluster, etc. look at RumLog NG running on your Mac.

Re: KX3 SDR MAC

Michael, I installed iSDR and ordered to lightning to USB adapter from
apple, it will be here tomorrow.. After ordering the adapter I started
wondering how to keep the iPad charged when it is powering the sound
device.. how do you make that happen, I could not find anything on the
web. Do you know if plugging the iPad into a powered USB hub will
charge the iPad, as the iPad would be acting as a host hub.. nothing I
could find... ????

regards... Fred

Re: KX3 SDR MAC

Fred, one of the Apple lightning to USB adapters also contains a female Lightning connector that allows for charging/powering along with the USB interface. It is called the “Lightning Digital AV Adapter” I believe.

Re: KX3 SDR MAC

In reply to this post by Fred Moore-2

Depends on which adapter you bought. This will allow charging and USB 3 (and USB 2) passthrough:

Look forward to hearing how this works.

Plugging any iPad into a powered USB plug will actively charge the iPad batteries.

Re: KX3 SDR MAC

In reply to this post by Fred Moore-2

Fred,

Seems like I recently saw a lightning T-splitter
which might work announced (related to the new
iPhone with no headphone jack), by Belkin I
believe. I wonder if that might be a solution to
charging in such a situation.

OTOH -- my iPad Mini battery seems to last a very
long time.

Hi Fred,

I realize I'm pretty late in the thread but... if you are willing to
experiment, you can check out my blog post here:
http://www.aerodynes.fr/2014/01/08/kx3-gnuradio-spectrum-visualisations/

This uses GNURadio to do really nice looking IQ spectrum visualizations
with the KX3. Runs great on the Mac but requires quite a lot of hands-on
action :)

There is also my own KX3 utility for the mac at wizkers.io/wizkersradio
which you should check out - it is open source too :)
