[Elecraft] KX3 SDR MAC

[Fred Moore]

Michael,  I installed iSDR and ordered to lightning to USB adapter from
apple, it will be here tomorrow..  After ordering the adapter I started
wondering how to keep the iPad charged when it is powering the sound
device..  how do you make that happen, I could not find anything on the
web.  Do you know if plugging the iPad into a powered USB hub will
charge the iPad, as the iPad would be acting as a host hub..  nothing I
could find... ????

regards... Fred
