KX3 digital ops, MacOS

[Elecraft mailing list]

Bill, thanks for your recent discussion on digital ops.  I wish to start exploring this mode, and am also a MacOS user.  Please provide your recommendations on options for MacOS software for various digital modes.  I have no MacOS Elmers available locally.

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!

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.
