I am thinking of getting a K3. I notice that a computer is necessary for several things. Can I use a Mac (iMAC) computer?

We provide Mac versions of our firmware load utilities, for recent versions
of Mac OS/X. 73 de Dick, K6KR -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Richard W Hemingway Sent: Saturday, May 25, 2013 8:34 AM To: [hidden email] Subject: [Elecraft] Mac computer I am thinking of getting a K3.

Actually, a computer is no more necessary with a K3 than with any other
rig. Except for firmware updates and if you want to use a soundcard for the various digi/rtty modes or run a logging program with rig control, there is no need for a computer at all, unless you want to. I run a Mac Mini in my shack and get along just fine. As Dick mentioned, Elecraft provides Mac versions of the utilities. I highly recommend the K3! 73, Scott, N9AA On 5/25/13 11:34 AM, Richard W Hemingway wrote: > I am thinking of getting a K3. I notice that a computer is necessary for several things.

Dick,
The iMac will work just fine. I've had my K3/100 tied to a MacBook Air for several years - no problems at all. With this setup I run the Elecraft Utility programs for the K3 and my P3, in addition to using MacLoggerDX for logging purposes.

Also, Mac users should be sure to take a look at RUMLog and RUMPed free
Mac logging and contest logging software. I use both and am well satisfied. 73, Scott, N9AA On 5/25/13 12:01 PM, Jim Bennett wrote: > Dick, > > The iMac will work just fine.

I agree I also use RUMLog and Fldigi from the Mac with my KX3. The main thing that seems to be lacking on the Mac is good working SDR software. Otherwise I think I am good not running Windows...

The Mac versions of the K3 and P3 utilities work well for me on
my now somewhat old MacBook Pro. I don't think there is a Mac version of the utility for the 2 meter option yet.

Macs all the way here - RUMlog, RUMped, RUMlog2Go work perfectly for me and I've never found a bug that Tom didn't fix right away. And finding bugs is a rare occurrence! He's a good developer. Using RUMped as I speak on the CQ WW WPX CW contest….
Elecraft utilities for Macs also work well. 73, Charles, K4ZRJ On May 25, 2013, at 12:49 PM, Bill Frantz <[hidden email]> wrote: > The Mac versions of the K3 and P3 utilities work well for me on my now somewhat old MacBook Pro.
