> I'm interested in using my MacBook Air with the KX3. Any advice on the best SDR software to use?
If you mean using the IQ output, I never found any that was satisfactory, although that was about six months
ago, there might be something better now. The best I found at the time was DSP Radio by DL2SDR which did
work but I found it rather difficult to use because the cursor position does not scale correctly with the
graphical pan display.
I ended up running the IQ to an iMic then to an iPad mini running iSDR. Even if I found a good SDR package
for the Air I might stay with this anyway because it keeps the broad view always visible even when the Air's
screen is already crowded.
As for the rest, I use fldigi for rig control, audio highjack to monitor the audio, and aetherlog for logging.
In the field, I use pencil and paper :-)
Good luck,
