[Elecraft] K3 and HRD: MAC using VMWare + HRD, no waterfall display

[Chris Hallinan]

I'm trying to get my new K3 on the digital modes using HRD.  On the
advice from the good folks on this list, I purchased a Tascam US122 MK
II.  No regrets there, it's a great unit for the price.

My setup has HRD running under VMWare on a Macbook Pro/Yosemite.  I'm
running latest Windows 8.1 with HRD in the VM.

I am confident in the physical setup, as I can use fldigi natively on
the MAC successfully.  But, HRD displays no waterfall at all.
Sometimes, I see RX activity on the built-in software sound card
monitor within HRD, and HRD can in fact see my Tascam under sound card
setup, but nothing i've tried will actually make it work.  The
waterfall display is always dark, indicating no incoming audio, even
though the LEDs on the Tascam, indicate activity.

Has anyone had success using this setup?  Any recommendations for a
path to success?  Should i try another sound interface? (Don't have
one presently.)  Sould I ditch the MAC and buy a windows box (ouch)?

Thanks,

Chris
