[Elecraft] K3 mac software and digital interfaces

[W4ATK]

I would not overlook the Navigator interface for use with the K3. In my opinion it is a bit more user friendly than some of the other interfaces and with six USB/Serial ports you will be done with that problem (CAT, PTT, WKey, FSK, An auxiliary RS232 port) and one of the quietest USB Codecs for those sound card apps I have ever seen. That being said i run MacLogger DX as a logger program, Fldigi for my PSK31, RTTY etc, Flwkey for CW, Flrig for station control. I use CrossOver and run JT65-HF and other ".exe"s I cannot do without. You will love coin' it with a Mac.

I do not want to run the Mac in windows/corporate mode, sorry no more registry or blue screens of death for me.  I am seeking advise from other K3 owners who have tried programs like Cocomodem for digital modes both directly through K3 or various usb hardware interfaces such as Microham, Rigblaster, Tigertonics etc and if the expense and effort is worthwhile or just connecting the K3 to Mac?  I do not need CW keying as I have a Begali CW machine for that, which works great.  This is a bit off topic so email off list is fine unless you feel your responses would be of value to others.  Thanks
