RUMlog does send CW. I have the macros setup and it works just fine. I 
cannot seem to get the CW send function with my KX3 (I didn't dig really 
deep into why and I don't really use RUMlog with the KX3 - possibly 
because the KX3 was setup as the secondary transceiver?), but it does 
work with the K3.

Fldigi works great on my Mac. I use it mostly for MARS work, but have 
used it in the past for PSK31 and Olivia 8/250. For more information, 
join the linuxham (all one word) Yahoo group.

I am no longer a fan of Aether. Last year I emailed the author a couple 
of times about a problem I was having with the software. He never 
responded. I figured that I paid for the program and he should have 
responded. I went to RUMlog and just recently (a couple of days ago) 
deleted Aether. Don't bother with it unless you don't mind getting no 
support.

For reference, my current setup is a late 2012 27" iMac with 8GB RAM and 
OS X 10.9.3. It is *way* more computer than I need.
