Bill you are not alone as a MAC user and I am NOT going to purchase a WIN 10 box to do any work for ham radio.

I have used the utility on my MacBookAir for the KX3 utility and love it.

I selected the USB com port and my radio immediately went into TX mode and would not stop.  I shut down the radio.  Stated K3S again and it was still in TX.
