[Elecraft] KX3 --> Want P3-Like Display on a Mac

[Jim Bennett]

Sorry if this has been on the reflector before but the searches I've done didn't really home in on what I am looking for.

I've owned my K3 for nearly four years. Adding the P3 to it made operating so much more enjoyable, for a variety of reasons that I need not get into here. I recently got a KX3 as a Christmas present from the XYL and have been busy integrating it into my desktop environment. I've got it on a coax switch so that I can share not only my various antennas, but also my dummy load and the KAT500 and KPA500 if I so desire.

Operating the KX3 is lots of fun, barefoot or QRO. But, I miss the panoramic band display I see when I use the K3/P3. What is out there that I might be able to use with the KX3 and it's RX IQ? I'm using an iMac with OS X 10.7.5 for my operating system. I do have VMWare Fusion, but would rather not have to run a Windows application on the emulator - native mode applications are my desire. Is there software that can use the RX IQ, possibly into a USB port, that will give me the band display that I'm used to with the P3? Spending a bazillion dollars on it is out of the question, so I'm hoping that there is an inexpensive solution.

Thanks, Jim / W6JHB
