[Elecraft] Macintosh version of Elecraft KX3 Utility

[Andy McMullin]

Thanks Charles. 

So, am I the only person interested in using my Elecraft kit with a Mac in the future? If not, how can we get this app updated to work on Macs from now on? Who do we need to ask?

The warning message is just that - a warning message that the app in question will not run on future version of the OS. The warning messages appears at random times, but is still valid. One can use the Activity Monitor app to determine what software is 32 bit and what is 64 bit.

It’s to do with 32-bit versus 64-bit and future versions of the OS not running old software.
