[Elecraft] MAC BOOK KX3 QUESTION

[Brian ve3bwp Pietrzyk]

Gerry I use my KX3 and a couple of macbooks all the time with no problems. The elecraft USB to serial cable that comes with the KX3 works fine with Fldidgi or wsjt. For the RX/TX audio interfacing I use the Tigertronics Signalink USB interface which is opto-isolated just for that extra level of insurance. You can order it with preconfigured KX3 cable and jumper. Its a pretty common configuration so you’ll find no shortage of help pulling it all together.

HI GUYS,  I AM USING A MAC BOOK PRO FROM 2010.  I HAVE THE LATEST SOFTWARE AS OF THIS DATE.  THE QUESTION IS, DOES "BIG E" HAVE A CABLE AVAILABLE THAT WOULD ALLOW WORK WITH MY MAC (USB) TO SEND-RECEIVE DATA SOFTWARE I HAVE ON THE PC?    I AM ABLE TO DOWNLOAD KX3 UPDATES, BUT DO NOT KNOW IF I COULD USE THE SAME CABLE FOR RTTY/PACKET/JT  SOFTWARE THAT I MAY HAVE ON THE MAC.  THE MAC DOES NOT HAVE A CONNECTION FOR A MICROPHONE SUCH AS WOULD BE AVAILABLE ON A WINDOWS MACHINE.  I MUST ADMIT THAT I AM NOT COMPUTER LITERATE.TNX AND 73AA2ZJ
