[Elecraft] K3 - Macbook Pro

[Michael Babineau]

Mike :

I use the SignalLink USB and it works well on my Macbook  (no drivers to install) as well as under WIN XP running on
the same machine under Parallels Desktop.  I primarily run FlDigi for soundcard modes on Mac OS, WIN XP and Linux. 
The SignalLink USB  uses an internal VOX circuit to key the rig so no USB to serial adaptor is needed for keying.

If you need a serial port on your Mac for rig control,  I have had nothing but success with the following Startech USB to Serial Adaptor :

Generally any USB adaptor that uses the Prolific chipsets seems to work very well on Mac OS or Linux. 

Best of luck
