Your Radio needs to be connected with a LAN cable to your local Network. There is no relevant RAM or Hard drive requirement, but a fast CPU would be an advantage if you like to use multiple windows at the same time. To run the App, you need a Mac running at least macOS 10.15 (Catalina).

However, if you like to use your external Software, SmartSDR for Mac has an integrated CAT and DAX interface. No Cables, Audio drivers, settings – just do FT8! External Software support

SmartSDR for Mac comes with integrated FT8 and FT4.

It does not use Catalyst and thus it provides the full Mac look and feel. However, it is a complete separate native Mac Version with many additional features. SmartSDR for Mac is the big brother of SmartSDR for iOS. Juan, EA5XQ AirSpy Hf+ Discovery LOOP 1.It has never been easier to operate your FlexRadio 6xxx Radio. It is true that SDR# is the best with the R2 and HF+ Discovery radios but only for Windows users, MacOS users can not enjoy fully with SDR#.

After some tries, I was able to install SDR++ and keep it updated thanks to Alexandre Rouma effort. I have been using such configuration, with VM, since this summer until I have discovered SDR++ and it is actually the best option for MacOS, closer to the functionality provided with SDR# even though I still miss some plugins or filters such as Audio or IF ones, very useful indeed. I have been using Parallel Desktop and only does it job if you are using the laptop only with SDR# as the number of resources required are high and if you start to work in parallel (using Word, Email client, browser.) in MacOS it provokes glitches, “sparkies' sounds and the performance decreases a lot. Nevertheless, I only can use it using VM but it does not work very well. In my case, as MacOS user I have been tested GQRX/CubicSDR and, although they are doing a great job I was looking for something more complex, with more functionality and SDR# is the candidate. 99cts) I do not know the difficulties to implement MacOS version but I learned from your comments that there are some constrains. Why has Apple not added support to run Windows apps? (I know, that's heresy!) Maybe the right approach is to not regard this as a SDR# issue, but an Apple issue.

For example, under Windows there is now Linux support via WSL and Android support is in testing. That's not the worst solution as emulation is consistently getting better. Your best solution is to run Windows in a VM under MacOS. While there is a Windows for ARM, it is quite new and is not as mature or well-supported. The answer from Microsoft was because Winforms and WPF use GDI and GDI+, which are technologies that are quite low-level in Windows, these applications will always require Windows.Īdditionally there is now a processor issue as the Macintosh now uses an ARM architecture.

The question of MacOS support would arise every year. Before COVID, I would regularly attend the annual Microsoft Build developers conference. On Fri, at 10:14 AM BobS via groups.io wrote:
