[Elecraft] [K3] K3 MacOS M1 Mini

[Jack Brindle]

The Elecraft radios play very well with Macintoshes. In fact, KPA500 code was developed (and still maintained) on a Mac mini. The various Elecraft Utilities for the K-Line work very well on macOS.

For general logging, be sure to check out MacLogger-DX. It is very well maintained with lots of features. For contesting there are a few choices. RumLog is one, but I prefer SkookumLogger from K1GQ. It is available (for free!) on the Mac App Store. Of course WSJT-X plays natively on the system as well for FT-4/8 and other weak-signal modes.

And, if you find you really need to run a Windows app, Windows plays very well on Intel Macs using VMware Fusion (also free) or one of the other virtualization systems.

73!
