[Elecraft] MAC BOOK KX3 QUESTION

[GRANT YOUNGMAN]

Apple has dropped audio input on current Retina MacBookPro products.  I’m not sure when that transition took place, and am too lazy too look :-)

There are inexpensive USB audio modules that will support both input and output and perhaps save you some hassle.  It’s worth checking out this link if you don’t have a retina MacBook Pro … it may still work:  record-through-your-macbooks-headphone-jack <https://www.cnet.com/how-to/record-through-your-macbooks-headphone-jack/>

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
