[Elecraft] K144XV Utility for Mac (Repost)

[W4ATK]

Bill, 

Check out CrossOver. It is a $59.95  app from CodeWeavers that sets up a PC based program to run on a Mac. There is no requirement for Windows. I have used it for the following things so far,  JT65-HF, EZNEC2 antenna design software, RS91 Icom Programming software, and lastly CWGet Morse decoder. If you are using a com port, as you  would be, you will need to create a Unix type link to associate the COMx number to a USB/serial driver, very easy.
