[Elecraft] K2: Filter Aliginment software for Apple MACs.

[Alan D. Wilcox]

Francis,

FWIW, I was hunting for a Mac subst for Spectrogram recently, and really 
didn't find much at all.
"iSpectrum" is all I could find free - or even at a modest price - and 
it didn't come close to Spectrogram. It could hardly display the 
passband of the K2, much less allow for any alignment using it.

I use a Win7 desktop in the shop, and Spectrogram does excellently for 
K2 alignments.

Short of a specific Mac application, one might run a Windows virtual 
machine (VirtualBox, Parallels, etc) as a host for Spectrogram. The 
catch is, at least for the newer Apple silicon (M1, M2), is that you'd 
need a copy of Windows that can run on non-Intel codebase. I've not 
researched that alternative much however. For the number of times 
Spectrogram might be needed, it's easier/cheaper to just use an old Win PC.

If you do find something that works on your Mac, let us all know!

Thanks for writing.

Alan
