Running WSPR on KX3 using a Mac

[ve3bwp]

There seems to be a lot of Mac users on this forum. No answers on WSPR forums so hopefully someone here has overcome this:

Is there anyone here running WSPR on a Mac?

My qrp digital station is a KX3, a Signalink USB, a MacBook (and a CrankIR).

Been able to do all the modes I want (using fldigi and WSJT and FreeDV) so far except WSPR. I downloaded and followed the WSPR install (and CLI instructions) and stuck at getting flrig errors. Emails to the author are bouncing back.

Anyone else been down this road?

Yes, it's in v1.7, which I think might be in late beta. Yes, there's a
Mac version. Download here.

v1.7 is a major upgrade -- more modes, more functionality, and improved
decode performance in modes like JT65.

I have recently installed WSJT-X and confirm it does:
JT4 -eme on microwave bands
JT9 -similar to JT4
JT65 -eme 50 thru 1296 MHz, three submodes: A/B/C
QRA64 -experimental eme mode to yielding up ot 3 dB advantage over JT65
ISCAT  - meteor scatter, aircraft scatter, other scatter prop
MSK144 - meteor scatter, aircraft scatter, other scatter prop
WSPR -propagation mapper
Echo -moon echo self-testing

Has versions for windows, linux, and Mac OSX
It has features designed for HF users in mind
Transceiver CAT control
Go to Basic Operating Tutorial (Section 6) of the on-line Users Guide:
www.physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/wsjtx-doc/wasjtx-main-1.7.0.html

I have used JT65 since its introduction as JT44 in 2003 on 2m-eme
I also use it on 1296 and 50 MHz eme
just beginning use of MSK144 on 50.280 ms
Also have used WSPR on 495 KHz as WD2XSH/45 (currently QRT due to
antenna failure).
I use my K3 with DEMI transverters for these modes.; have not yet
built a computer I/F for my KX3-2M.

And WSJT-X supports I/Q receivers like the Funcube Dongle Pro+, at least
in my Linux Mint 18.1 it does. At HF it tunes spot-on and decodes.
Tried 136 kHz, 474 kHz and several HF bands on a MiniWhip (WSPR)
Yes, 2200 meters on a piece of copper-clad 4 by 6 centimeters. 2E0ILY
QRB 520 km. Amazing...

WSJT-X v1.7 (and 1.6) has WSPR built-in, if you have WSJT-X working then
use it for WSPR mode, as K1JT has indicated that there will not be
further work on the separate program.       All Elecraft transceivers
are supported out of the box for rig control by v1.7.

WSJT-X v1.7 is in release, no longer Beta.
